sorry for the trashiness i couldnt rlly try that hard cos i was just starting to get used to Adobe Flash and my main focus was getting comfortable and learning stuff

Principles of Animation I
arc, squash & stretch, straight ahead & pose to pose, and slow in & slow out
arc // movement in a circular, or rounded path
squash & stretch // making an object appear exaggeratedly longer/flatter to emphasize speed, momentum, weight, and mass
straight ahead // animating as you go frame by frame
pose to pose // animating the beginning and end pose of each significant movement and filling in the frames in between
slow in & slow out // shows how speed of object accelerates/decelerates as t begins to move/stop

Principles of Animation II
timing, exaggeration, anticipation, and staging
timing // shows how that the number of frames between each main action determines the speed of the animation
exaggeration // takingan action, pose or expression to the next level to be more convincing
anticipation // object prepares for action to let the audience know what to expect so the animation flows better
staging // presentation of any idea so that it is unmistakingly clear

Principles of Animation III
follow through, solid drawing, appeal, secondary action
follow through // having body parts or appendages drag behind while main body is moving, and continue to move while the main body has stopped
solid drawing // making sure forms fill up 3 dimensional space with volume, weight, and balance
appeal // being pleasing to look like using dynamic design
secondary action // gestures that support the main action to add more dimension
