12 Principles of Animation in Toon Boom Harmony

A group of top Disney animators created 12 rules for animation back in the days before hand-drawn animation. These rules, when used correctly, could create stunning animation and an engaging experience to the audience. The book entitled 'The illusion of life: Disney Animation' was published by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson in 1981. It detailed all 12 principles. These techniques have been used by animators all over the globe. These 12 principles were originally intended for hand-drawn animation. However, they are applicable to computer-generated animation. The 12 principles of animation should be considered when you create a keyframe for any application.
