Animation Principles



Squash and Stretch
In the video, as the ball bounces up and down, the ball squashes when it hits the ground and stretches when it bounces off the ground.

Anticipation
In the video, anticipation is seen when the girl swing her arm backwards before swinging it forward to punch the guy.

Staging
In the video, staging is seen when the girl runs towards the camera as the audience's attention is directed to the girl.

Straight ahead and pose to pose animation
In the video, the guy doing secret agent scene shows bits of straight ahead and pose to pose animation as some parts of that scene is straight ahead animation like running and rolling and pose to pose animation like smelling the shoe and picking up the object.

Follow through and overlapping action
When the girl run and jump, her hair and the bag she is carrying shows follow through and overlapping action.

Slow-out and Slow-in
As the pass is passed between the two guys, the ball slows down and quickens mid-air. This shows slow-out and slow-in.

Arcs
When the ball travels in the air, the path it travels is in the shape of an arc.

Secondary Action
When the girl is running, her arms swinging is showing secondary action.

Timing
As the ball bounce, the timing  between the bounces of the ball is shorter. This shows timing.

Exaggeration
When the guy is doing the secret agent scene, his rolling shows exaggeration as running or crawling is normal but he wanted to express the feel through exaggeration.

Solid Drawing
The ball bouncing shows volume and weight as it bounces with impact.


Appeal
The guy doing the secret agent scene shows appeal as he puts in humor when he overreacted after smelling the shoe and when he roll about unnecessary.



Staging
The first few seconds of the clip shows the two main characters and the audience knows that they will fight each other.


Follow through and overlapping action
As the girl with ponytail turns around, her hair flows along with her head

Slow-out and Slow-in
When the three beasts with four legs jump towards the boy, there is slow-in to invoke a feeling of intensity at a critical moment.

Secondary Action
When the two guys looked at each other, the guy with the long white hair gave a smirk.

Anticipation
When the guy with the big sword crouch to leap towards his enemy.

Straight ahead and pose to pose animation
There is straight ahead when the two main guys are fighting each other and pose to pose when their eyes meet when their swords clashed.

Appeal
The guys with long white hair gives off a confident and proud character while the guy with short hair gives off a serious character which appeals to people.
