Slow Motion

Interesting look at the principles of animation through slow motion videos. This helps to see the subtle movements that objects make that we probably would not notice if shown at a normal speed. We see how even hard surfaces have an element of squash and stretch to them as well as how slow in and slow out plays a part in a lot of daily activities. When the man blows the paper, he follows through in his movement. The mousetrap follows an arc as it springs backwards, there is overlapping action with the chainsaw and there is a stretch when the eggs collide. These principles are much easier to see when slowed down. This video definitely helps with that and provides a good animation reference so it is easy to identify movement.

I do not own this video.
