Movement Psychology of the Characters: <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nTo get the best look and feel the intention of the character is very important.<\/p>\n
We need to know exactly what and how the character feels and uses his movements to show that at that particular scene is very important.<\/p>\n
To understand the intention behind any movement is crucial before we start designing any character.<\/p>\n
Deatiled study of the nature of the character required while doing the character animation for it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Be the Character:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\nAt times it\u2019s very important to get into the skin of the character to know the character well.<\/p>\n
To do this one can actually enact the same and record it for their own use so that they can see later what the character portrayal we are aiming at and can make the necessary changes to it if required.<\/p>\n
Simple Rigging<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h2>\nThe rig<\/a> should match with the specific needs of the character.<\/p>\nLike if the character is shown with a heavy built it will walk slowly exactly the same way a fat man in reality would walk.<\/p>\n
Whereas a character with a lighter built will walk fast showing the walk of a lean person in real life.<\/p>\n
The characters should be portrayed in the same manner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Balance the Time: <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen we talk about animation<\/a> one more basic feature is the portrayal of time.<\/p>\nA character who is showing some happy mood will work kin a fast pace and will be always shown smiling and portraying the feel good factor.<\/p>\n
If the walk slowly they might be sad unhappy or down.<\/p>\n
Character Movement and Balance of the Animated Character:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\nUse of gravity plays an important role while animating<\/a> a character.<\/p>\nDuring a particular scene how the character needs to balance his actions should be handled carefully as it gives the perfect balance to the character.<\/p>\n
To study the effect of gravity on the character gives the best look to the character and will make it look more real.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Basic Animation:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nThe basic animation<\/a> should be kept for future as those things add more life and create the best effects. It gives it more subtle and effective look.<\/p>\nThe tail, tongue, waving of hand are few of the things where the natural flow of the element is very important in animation.<\/p>\n
They should be designed keeping in mind the natural look of the characters.<\/p>\n
The movement and motion of wings for example should be integrated with the movement of the animated character<\/a> to give the perfect look.<\/p>\n![\"CHARACTER](\"http:\/\/www.animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/basic-animation-300x300.gif\")
<\/p>\n
Illusion of Movement of the Animated Character:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\nTo make the viewer\u2019s feel that the animated characters<\/a> are alive and moving is a difficult task in itself as it involves a lot of specialized technical work.<\/p>\nWe can make use of Stop Motion<\/a> technique where a series of photographs<\/a> of posed objects are moved slightly after each shot which will make it appear like it is moving.<\/p>\nThe perfect look of Stop Motion<\/a> can be seen in the movie Chicken Run.<\/p>\n![\"CHARACTER](\"http:\/\/www.animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chicken-run.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Eye Coordination: <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nWhenever a person starts any action the first thing which moves are the eyes of the person.<\/p>\n
They always move in a particular direction where they want to go followed by the head and then the neck.<\/p>\n
The first thing that we see when we notice the movements of any person are the eyes as eyes catch our attention very fast.<\/p>\n
This tip always works the best.<\/p>\n
The movement of eyes should always match with the other body parts of the animated character<\/a> to make it more proper and look more real.<\/p>\nBasic Model of Animation:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen we are working with the overall motion of characters, a simple model works the best compared to a high resolution model.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
A reduced version of the character allows the work to be done in a more fluid way.<\/p>\n
Reaction to every Action of the Animated Character<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h2>\n
After deeply understanding the characteristics, their mannerisms, actions of the character one can actually create the character which has all the traits which would make it look like real world characters.<\/p>\n
