In your own words, what do you think is the principle of animation identified?
Where does it occur (outside of the examples provided in the videos)?

  1. The animation principle 'Squash and Stretch' is the means by which an animation is distorted to take on various shapes without changing its overall size.

  2. In cricket when the ball makes contact with the bat.

    When one squeezes a stress ball and it pops back to its original shape but seems as if it goes further than its original form

  3. Used in emphasising movement Speed, ie. Running scenes; to emphasise acceleration and extreme speeds. eg. Naruto Shippuden: Pain vs Ninetails running scene where Pain accelerates to extreme speeds to escape the Ninetails.

  4. Many real world objects have little flexibilty, such as furniture, however most organic objects have some level of flexibility in their shape.

    1. I don't understand how it relates Cz there's no example, from your definition I don't know what squash and stretch is.

    2. Probly if the furniture was falling from a building, u could say it would Stretch on its way down to show the speed at which it falls, and squash when it lands right before it breaks.

  5. Used to highlight certain movements from the character. Whether facial or other bodily movements. its also important to remain consistant with your character.

    1. Kinda get what ur saying but it would help a little more if you explain the movements of the character and how the Squash and Stretch emphasizes those movements.

  6. Basically my understanding of the principle of animation the squash and stretch theory is that it allows the object or person to appear more life like. For example, a teddy bear falls to the ground stretching and flattening the image then back to the original size will let the teddy bear appears to be bouncing hence appears realistic.

  8. You got to tell me what those movements are that being said I agree with the rest, I'd say it's close to what we got in the video without some descriptive words to let visualize what your saying.

    1. Cool i get u bro, the squash and stretch would tell us about the mass of the object. ie Teddy Bear- soft, bouncy.
