Visual, Word, Sound, Motion

We are relating the Visual aspect of our animation to the word balance through the idea of physical balance and symmetrical balance. Audio wise we plan on timing the visual elements to relate to the “mood” and “actions” of the sound. We are not sure what type of motion we are going to be using quite yet. However we want so combine the different aspects of physical balance and symmetrical balance.

We will try to make balance relate to the sound through the use of structured organized audio, and reliance on the observer’s imagination. We will try to make balance relate to motion through gravitational direction, as well as rely on the path of the viewer’s eye to add an extra part of Motion.

Sound will heavily influence the motion of the final animation, the rhythm at which objects move or pulsate, or the shape of the object itself.

12principlesAnimation(2/2/11)

Squash and stretch: Our animation will probably employ squash and stretch in the motion of the forms.

Anticipation: We have not yet thought much about this principle, yet.

Staging: Is very important and will be taken into account for setting up the overall composition of the elements.

Straight ahead action and pose to pose: We are employing both of these techniques, but with more focus on pose to pose.

Follow through and overlapping action: We are  taking these principles into account when deciding how and when objects move on screen.

Slow in and slow out: is used throughout our animation.

Arcs: not sure we are using this concept yet.

Secondary action: This principle may be considered if we choose to have objects collide with others.

Timing: This is absolutely essential. We are letting our sound dictate the timing of our animation.

Exaggeration: Not sure how much of this principle we will employ yet.

Solid drawing: May want to minimize the use of this principle, since we are trying to avoid a sense of gravity in our animation.

Appeal: We are still working on how to employ this principle.
