Animation - Adobe Animate - Session 2

It is very important in Animation to get timing, spacing, easing in and easing out correct, below you can see animation of examples of these practices I created during today's session. 

Here is a simple example of spacing and timing, both dots start and end at the same time. The upper dot is spaced evenly throughout its movement cycle, the lower dot eases in and out to represent an increase in speed as it moves, this is more accurate because we now perceive the dot to possess weight and momentum.

This is an example of an incorrect arcing pendulum, the dot is on a flat axis which means the string changes length throughout the animating, to correct this we need to produce an arc in the dot.

Now that we have the dot in an arc it fools us into believing the string remains the same length, however the dot possesses no momentum so we will now try to fix it.

Finally we have a finished pendulum, the arc of the dot is believable and the ease in and ease out fools us into believing we have weight and momentum on the dot. It is important to remember that what I animate requires weight to be realistic.
