Day 1 challenge: Timing and spacing
- Hello and welcome to day one of this five-day motion graphics challenge. Today, you'll create a GIF demonstrating the animation principle of Timing & Spacing. Timing & Spacing is the most basic animation principle, but it's also one of the most important. Timing refers to the timing between actions or poses, and spacing refers to how an object is spaced throughout each frame of animation or poses. An object with the exact same animation length, can convey different things depending on how the key frames are spaced. The same can be said about the spacing of key frames through the length of an overall animation. How an object's key frames are timed and spaced, can give it a completely different feel or emotion. Much of what we see as realistic when it comes to movement or even color theory, boils down to what we see and experience in nature. Depending on how an object moves, we can gather information about that object. Is it heavy and solid? Or is it light and bouncy? You can even…
