The following 12 basic principles of animation were developed by the 'old men ' of Walt Disney Studios, amongst them Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, during the 1930s. Of course they weren 't old men at the time, but young men who were at the forefront of exciting discoveries that were contributing to the development of a new art form. These principles came as a result of reflection about their practice and through Disney 's desire to devise a way of animating that seemed more 'real ' in terms of how things moved, and how that movement might be used to express character and personality. It needs to be said that many brilliant moments of animation have been created without reference to, or knowledge of, these principles. However they are …show more content…

You can lose size, volume, and proportions with this method, but it does have spontaneity and freshness. Fast, wild action scenes are done this way. Pose to Pose is more planned out and charted with key drawings done at intervals throughout the scene. Size, volumes, and proportions are controlled better this way, as is the action. The lead animator will turn charting and keys over to his assistant. An assistant can be better used with this method so that the animator doesn 't have to draw every drawing in a scene. An animator can do more scenes this way and concentrate on the planning of the animation. Many scenes use a bit of both methods of …show more content…

Nothing stops all at once. This is follow through. Overlapping action is when the character changes direction while his clothes or hair continues forward. The character is going in a new direction, to be followed, a number of frames later, by his clothes in the new direction. "DRAG," in animation, for example, would be when Goofy starts to run, but his head, ears, upper body, and clothes do not keep up with his legs. In features, this type of action is done more subtly. Example: When Snow White starts to dance, her dress does not begin to move with her immediately but catches up a few frames later. Long hair and animal tail will also be handled in the same manner. Timing becomes critical to the effectiveness of drag and the overlapping

Firstly, Ron Howard uses slow motion very effectively in his film. In a scene about half way through this film, the camera focuses on Lilly while her and the other captured girls are being transported on horseback. As the men lead the capture girls across a small river, slow motion ensues. During this scene, slow motion is used to emphasize that she is in a hopeless situation. During a scene near the end of the film, slow motion is used again when Maggie shoots a man that is attempting to kill Honesco, an Indian who is engaged to one of the captured woman.

It was not as simple as operating a set of strings and sounding out voices; more complex characters such as Hoggle had many different performers trying to create one character. Shari Weiser was inside the costume and did all the body movement while Hoggle's face was radio-controlled by Brian Henson and three other operators. There was a lot of rehearsing done in order to match his expression with his voice. Ludo was another character that was struggled with and due to his massive size his costume was alternated between two people.

The short-length feature Gerald McBoing-Boing, which tells the story of a boy who only speaks in sound effects, has been regarded as an exceptional example of what could be described as the cartoon style of heavily design-oriented and abstract-based 1950’s animation. It was one of the first cartoon shorts to gain widespread attention for its usage of limited animation. In comparison to the features of Walt Disney, which were recognized for their concrete simulations of reality and exquisite, frame-by-frame details, shorts like Gerald McBoing-Boing utilized symbolism, abstract art, and simplicity to create their own interpretations of real-life situations. This particular style of animation depended heavily on the animators’ abilities to emulate

Rule breaking, leads to rulemaking. But to break an established rule in any artform hinges on the author's intent; to do it out of ignorance or laziness just results in sloppy work. To effectively break the rules, it’s necessary to learn them, acknowledge them, and then go on without them. John Huston’s The Maltese Falcon (1941) is the perfect example of this. Huston makes use of the tools in classical Hollywood narration to create a visually and technically mediocre film, but manipulates and bends those same tools to profoundly enhance storytelling and character development.

Now I not only watch their movies and shorts with amazement just because it’s part of my childhood, but I take note of every movement a character makes, trying to figure out how the animators did that. How did the character designers come up with this character’s personality? How did the storyboarders plan out this scene before it came to this? One movie in particular really hit me hard.
