Motion Glossary Project - Anticipation

Some time ago, I was asked by an employer to create some small gifs that would illustrate different terms used to describe motion detail in animation. I came up with a small "glossary" as applied to the business, making about 20-some odd gifs, but it went unused.

So, now that some time has passed, I'm going to post my favorites here, re-branded a bit. It's all pretty basic and probably a bit unrefined, but I really enjoyed learning how to properly use textures from the PQ grit kit that I'd purchased a long time ago!

Again, don't take any of this as "animation fact" - these were all made with the specific lens of the company / department / personnel in mind. Go read "The Illusion of Life" by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, or "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams for real information!
