12 principles of animation

The 12 principles of animation are an extremely good set of guidelines to keep in mind when animating. They can make a boring animation into a complex, natural and interesting animation just by adding simple things such as squash and stretch and anticipation.

In my opinion the most important principles are those that deal with things such as weighting, and timing.

Anticipation is extremely good for exaggerating movements and giving your character a lot more emotion and personality
