Due: Thursday, January 27 @ 1:20 am

Turn in via a post on your blog.

For this assignment, you will draw from a ~hat for an assigned Animation Principle, and find three really strong examples of that principle to share with the class. Create a blog post with links to your examples, including time code (expressed as hour, minute and second (ex: 00:01:07)). Note that this means your selections must be available to watch (legally) online; the Watching Animation Resource on this website is a good place to start. Describe the action and explain how it demonstrates that particular principle, as well as how it is used effectively in the context of the work; i.e., how does it help communicate something? (Example analysis.)

Important: We will these in class together, so you need to make it very clear how to find your examples - be specific in your descriptions and your time code. I am also looking for evidence that you clearly understand your assigned principle, and can explain it well to the class. Our goal is that by the end of this class, we will have watched and shared a lot of different animation examples, and we all have a better understanding of the Principles and their functions!
