Web Motion Design
Apply Disney's 12 animation principles to CSS, JavaScript, and frontend frameworks.
Quick Reference
| Principle | Web Implementation |
|---|---|
| Squash & Stretch | transform: scale() on interaction states |
| Anticipation | Slight reverse movement before action |
| Staging | Focus user attention with motion hierarchy |
| Straight Ahead / Pose to Pose | JS frame-by-frame vs CSS keyframes |
| Follow Through / Overlapping | Staggered child animations, elastic easing |
| Slow In / Slow Out | ease-in-out, cubic-bezier curves |
| Arc | motion-path or bezier translate transforms |
| Secondary Action | Shadows, glows responding to primary motion |
| Timing | Duration: micro 100-200ms, standard 200-400ms |
| Exaggeration | Scale beyond 1.0, overshoot animations |
| Solid Drawing | Consistent transform-origin, 3D perspective |
