THE CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND THE PHYSICS AND MECHANICS OF ANIMATED MOTION

Abstract

This article delves into an in-depth exploration and enhancement of the principle of follow through and overlapping action. The primary objective is to present a pragmatic and all-encompassing approach that systematically organizes and augments its foundational components. This innovative framework interconnects the skeletal components, secondary masses and appendages with the tripartite levels of action and addresses the aspect related to the stylization of movement. In the pursuit of a more effective methodology, a graphical tool is designed. This instrument facilitates the systematic analysis and juxtaposition of attribute stylization levels, along with the novel facets of follow through and overlapping action. To validate the utility of this proposal, it is applied to two case studies, representing, and dissecting the principal properties inherent in animated actions.
