Don't let the title fool you! These are basic animation principles. They work on any platform, with or without a computer.

An amusing, entertaining, informative video for artists who are insecure about computers, and computer users who avoid drawing with a mouse. Amiga® animator Gene Hamm uses Disney Animation Studio™ and Deluxe Paint IV™  to teach animation basic principles such as:

  • Squash and Stretch
  • Extremes and Inbetweens
  • Staging
  • Anticipation
  • Takes
  • Follow Through and Overlapping Action
  • Slow In Slow Out
  • Arch
  • Timing
  • Streaks
  • 3D Backgrounds
  • Moving Holds
  • Walk Cycles

    These principles apply to any ray-tracing program too!

The tutoring lasts for two months. It begins when I get an email from you saying you have looked through the video. I will give you assignments referring to the video. Draw it on paper and scan it unless you have a graphics tablet and stylus. Send me a jpeg. I will print it out, correct it and email the corrected drawing back to you. 

In the cases of animation, email me the sequential drawings as individual jpegs. I will print them, flip them and email back corrected drawings. When all your animation is approved you can save it as an mpeg and send it to me. Feel free to email as many questions as you want during the two months.
