Animation Principles: Straight ahead and pose to pose

 


Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose

There are two main ways to approach animation: straight ahead and pose to pose. Straight ahead animation involves drawing frame by frame from start to finish. This method creates fluid, dynamic motion but can sometimes lead to mistakes in proportions or continuity. 



Pose to pose animation involves creating the key poses first and then filling in the in-between frames, which is useful for planning complex movements. 

The main difficulty with straight ahead animation is maintaining consistency, while pose to pose can feel stiff if the in-betweens are not drawn carefully.
