| Anticipation in animation represents the prelude to an action. For example the stretching of the legs before jumping or the gathering of impulse by the golfer before attempting to hit the ball with the club. Bugs Bunny Rough animation: In this example we see a rough animation of the famous Character flexing his legs to jump in a very straight forward manner, while still holding on to his identity. Maker vs Marker: The anticipation here is pivotal because it is used at different times to show power and prepare impact ( specially in minute 1:08 where the drawing holds a pose before releasing a punch into the hand). |
