TED-ED: Animation basics: The art of timing and spacing - TED-Ed

The video tutorial explains the core principles of animation, focusing on timing and spacing. It uses the example of a bouncing ball to illustrate how these principles create the illusion of life. The tutorial discusses the impact of physical forces like momentum and gravity on motion and demonstrates how different properties of objects affect their animation. By adjusting timing and spacing, animators can convey realistic motion and apply these concepts to various actions.

What factors influence the behavior of different types of balls when animated, according to their physical properties?

Describe how adjusting the spacing in an animation can affect the perceived motion of an object.

Why is it said that what you see in animation is less important than what you don't see?
