Beginner Animation Mistake: Moving Everything at the Same Time

Stop Moving Everything👇 Moving every part of your character at the exact same time is a common mistake that makes your work look robotic. To bring your characters to life, Drag and Follow Through helps! While there are always exceptions depending on the context, this is a vital tip to expand your animation toolkit. 🙌 3 Tips: - Delay Your Animation: To fix stiffness, ensure you are delaying specific parts of your movement. - Lead with One Body Part: In a jump, the head can move first while the legs are the last thing to leave the ground. - The Chain Principle: Think of your movement like a chain where one link pulls the next. Want to learn more? I highly recommend watching Alan Becker’s "12 Principles of Animation" on YouTube! It is an incredible resource for studying drag and follow-through.
