Quick Principles Refresher

You know these. Here's the checklist.

The 12

1. Squash/Stretch - Volume constant, shape varies. Check your impacts and fast motion.

2. Anticipation - Is the audience prepared? Opposite direction, proportional to action.

3. Staging - Silhouette test. One idea. Where's the eye going?

4. Straight Ahead / Pose to Pose - Right method for this shot? Maybe hybrid.

5. Follow Through / Overlap - Does everything stop at once? (It shouldn't.) Hierarchy: root leads, tips lag.

6. Slow In / Out - Checked your spacing charts? Bunched at ends, spread in middle.

7. Arcs - Track the paths. Everything curves unless intentionally broken.
