For our warm-up activity, Mike Cope will show you how to make “Roll & Flip” animations. These are fun and easy to make, plus a great way to practice the basics of animation. For example, we'll learn about and practice the animation principle/technique known as "squash & stretch." We'll also learn how to create the "illusion of movement" with different animation cycles.
Time to Complete Activity: 10 to 15 minutes (more practice, the better!)
Materials: blank paper, pencil, scissors
