CG Artist Toolkit- Animation: Time and Spacing

This lesson we were exploring the basics of timing and space in relation to animation.
Timing- How long it takes for something to go from point A to point B.
Spacing- How it gets there.

Exercise 1 had us spacing a circle from frame 1-25 evenly, and exercise 2- switching up the movement, by moving more frames in two specific places. The more frames showing an object 'moving' within close proximity to itself, the slower the animation appears.

'Evenly Spaced' and 'Ease in, Ease out'
Now to explore the importance of arches and curves in indicating natural movement:
'How not to animate a moving pendulum!'

Remember the arch!
