Power & Confidence Animation
Create animations that convey strength, authority, and commanding presence.
Emotional Goal
Power comes from deliberate, controlled, weighty motion. Confidence means animations that know exactly where they're going and arrive with certainty.
Disney Principles for Power
Squash & Stretch
Minimal stretch, impactful squash. Heavy objects don't stretch—they compress on impact (10-15%). Weight and solidity over flexibility.
Anticipation
Deliberate, confident preparation (100-200ms). Not hesitation—gathering power. Like a predator before striking.
Staging
Dominant positioning. Large scale, center stage. Powerful elements command attention through presence, not motion.
