Learn to Animate: The Bouncing Ball
In this tutorial, Don Bluth will answer the question of what causes a bouncing ball to gradually diminish the energy of its bounce. These simple principles of physics are then applied to character hops, and jumps, and rhythms. Animation characters must appear to have weight. This tutorial will cover three significant principals of animation: Squash and Stretch, Overlapping action and timing.

Learn to Draw: Nuts and Bolts
This lesson will highlight the contribution of Edward Muybridge to the art of cinema and animation therefore giving the student a broader understanding of frames per second and timing. All motion pictures give the illusion of life by showing a series of still photographs at the rate of 24 per second. That principle is basic to the understanding of learning to animate.
For those that need a basic understanding of the tools of animation, this tutorial will be very helpful. We will explore the use of the Field Guides, their centers, and how they relate to the position of the camera as it moves around on the artwork.
