The Animation principle of Disney
When we see something, hear it or taste it, our brain is gathering information and giving signals that help us understand what we are looking at. It is a complex mechanism of inputs and outputs that are better than many computers. It is nature’s way of helping us look and respond to everything. Over the years, animations have evolved. From web pages to 3D IMAX movies, we are going through new ways to look at the world. Disney over the century has been a pioneer of the animation industry.
The twelve principles that were laid down by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson are still relevant as they were when The Illusion of Life was introduced. They are the standard on how we can make changes to any object, and make others experience it. Every animation tells a different story and so needs the same attention. A great animation will help better communicate with the viewer while also giving an image or an idea of the brevity of this designer. The twelve principles, when divided, help us understand every aspect of animation. Anticipation and Follow-through can bring new energy to movements. Timing and Spacing can help distribute weight and make choices possible in animations. Squash and Stretch can help bring new dimensions to live, by ways in which a material is used while manipulating as desired. Secondary Action is as important as the main action, it helps give new life to the action while allowing users to look at the surroundings around.
Following these principles as standards can help make a more engaging user interface or animation for users. Much of our digital media uses the same principles to showcase every aspect of animation and media projection we come across. The way advertisements and marketing material are made, to the way our smartphone applications are made in a consistent layer by layer way. There is no denying that decade old principles provided by the pioneers of animation and art will, for now, stay there for the future too.
