Match the following animation principles with their descriptions.

Squash and Stretch = Enhances the illusion of mass, flexibility, and gravity, giving characters a more dynamic and realistic feel. Anticipation = Prepares the audience for the next action by showing a character in a pose that foreshadows the movement. Staging = Directs the viewer's attention to the key elements of a scene. Straight Ahead vs Pose to Pose = A spontaneous approach to animating frames, giving a more fluid motion and sense of spontaneity. Follow Through and Overlapping Action = Ensures that characters and objects realistically adhere to the laws of physics, creating more believable and natural movement. Ease In and Out = Objects should not start or stop abruptly, creating a smoother and more realistic transition. Arcs = Natural movements are often more fluid and lifelike when they follow curved paths. Secondary Action = Adds depth and support to the main action, enhancing realism without distracting from the primary movement. Timing = Controls the pace and rhythm of actions, influencing the overall feeling and emotional impact of the scene. Exaggeration = Magnifies actions and emotions, making them more impactful and engaging Solid Drawing = Ensures that characters and objects have a believable three-dimensional appearance with accurate volume, balance, and weight. Appeal = Makes characters more interesting and engaging, often achieved through charisma and appealing visual features. Signup and view all the answers
