12 Steps of Animation As They Apply to Our Project:

Appeal

Want viewer to be drawn into the animation. Sleek textures and dynamic lighting

Timing

Showing individual parts of a whole, then how they all interact with each other at the end. Connection between sounds and visual pattterns. Towards end of animation, sounds build as patterns get more complex.

Exaggeration

Emphasizing dramatic ending. Showing movement in a 3-D space by making patterns move dramatically toward and away from viewer.

Anticipation

Using a drop in the sound and slowed action in the animation to build viewer's expectation.

"Straight Ahead" or "Pose to Pose" Action

Pose to pose action will help us create a fluid animation as pieces in our scene move around.

Secondary Action

The geometry we use will form moving lines that don't cause any secondary effects to other objects.

Arcs

Moving lines will, for the most part, travel in smooth organic motions.

Slow (Ease) In/Out

Movements of lines and objects will look more realistic when we incorporate smooth changes in velocity.

Squash/Stretch

individual shards will be squashed/stretched when they exlode out at beginnning and come back together at end. This will emphasize motion of the pieces.

Staging

dramatic motions wil direct viewer's attention.

Follow-through, overlapping action

Different parts move at different rates to draw attention where the main action is.

Solid Drawing

Knowledge of basics of weight, balance, lighting, etc. will help us create a convincing virtual environment.

Personality (not a principle)

Portraying a combination of themes. The different themes are represented with use of altering shades, line weights, and movement.

Inspiration:

interesting movement with geometric shapes

Maybe something with a more organic feel, like ink blots. I was thinking something like this would be cool if it was faster paced and more dynamic

the idea of moving around in a single moment of time, wherein a lot of action is happening could be an interesting way to provide some introspective to all the themes that were presented. Although I think it lacks the excitement we're looking for in a big finale. The real reason I put this up here is I like the texture they used to create this environment.

starts slow, but some neat visuals that we might be able to emulate

lots of good complex geometry transformations
