Everybody knows the 12 principles of animation established by Frank and Ollie in the Illusion of Life but over the years many people have felt the need to add more principles.<\/p>\n

Just to clear my mind I have decided to make a compilation of them based on Based on Leo Brody’s Walt Stanchfield compilation http:\/\/punchandbrodie.com\/leo\/stanchfield\/<\/a>
\nChapter 7 Principles of animation page 155<\/p>\n

1. pose and mood
\n2. shape and form
\n3. anatomy
\n4. model or character
\n5. weight
\n6. line and silhouette
\n7. action and reaction
\n8. perspective
\n9. direction
\n10. tension to extreme
\n11. planes
\n12. solidity
\n13. arcs
\n14. squash and stretch
\n15. beat and rhythm
\n16. depth and volume
\n17. overlap and follow thru
\n18. timing
\n19. working from extreme
\n20. positive & negative shapes
\n21. straights and curves
\n22. primary and secondary action
\n23. staging and composition
\n24. anticipation
\n25. caricature
\n26. details
\n27. texture
\n28. simplification<\/p>\n

Things are still not very clear in my mind and as I go along I will refine that list with explanations and add ons. So far I am already thinking of adding
\n– Clarity
\n– Entertainment
\n– Sincerity<\/p>\n

but also to take Adam’s variation in consideration:<\/p>\n
