Divided in small groups we had to do a research about the 12 principles of animation creating a group blog. My mates and I have created this website where you can read about the 12 principles of animation http://fouryounganimators.weebly.com/ . Here you can read one of the three I have done the research.
TIMING
Timing is an amount of drawings that shows a subject of the drawing in movement. We can see it since the first animations, for example used by Winsor McCay with the famous animation of “Gertie the Dinosaur”. However a more specific meaning and use of the timing has been introduced by The Disney's Nine Old Men in The Twelve Principles of Animation, where they developed differents techniques with timing for different narration purpose. For example for a fast action like a running we could shoot on two frames, so we reduce the amount of drawings to do and still we have a smooth action. We can say that “timing gives meaning to motion”.
