Exaggeration Principle
T-PRIN-004-010
The principle of exaggeration is another important way of adding life in animation. Sticking exactly to reality will make for a very stiff animation. Changing the direction of the main body curve from backward to forward in a dramatic way, using squash and stretch, snappy timing and good slow-in and slow out help exaggerate the movements and add life to your animation.
