Time Chart
A time chart (or timing chart) in animation is a planning chart that illustrates the timing, spacing, and placement of drawings between key poses to create well-timed movement. It serves as a roadmap showing how many frames to draw between keyframes, how to space them for different speeds, and the overall flow of action.
Timing and Spacing
- TIMING is the speed and the rhythm of your animation, how many frames you use to make a movement.
- SPACING is the variation of the speed during this movement.
Weight
- Lost weight: hair or body parts rise.
- Gain weight: hair or body parts sink.
