The
principles of animation have been laid down by Disney Animators Frank
Thomas and Ollie Johnston in the “Illusion of life ” in 1981.

Some more concepts have been added over the years and one of the most
important addition, or clarification, is the concept of “weight shift”.

Here is a quick animation snippet by student Rajson Shakya.

Overlapping
Action is another of the cornerstones of animation. By overlapping the
actions of a characters’ body, hair, tail, clothing or for this
exercise, the arm; your animation will feel more fluid and life-like!

Here is a quick animation snippet by student Niroj Karmacharya.
