12 Principles of Animation in Learning 2d Animation

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The 12 Basic Principles of Animation are the fundamental guidelines in learning basic animation. These principles may provide support in the solution of a problem but not at this time. With the fast pacein today’s technology, digital devices, and moving interface, teaching became more challenging than before. In this study, the use of 2D animation was put together to determine the learners' perception in terms of drawing skills and techniques

METHODS

The researchers used a descriptive research design. The participants were the thirty-seven (37) TVL students of Alfonso National High School. They watched a video presentation about 12 basic principles as applied in 2D animation. An adapted survey questionnaire was utilized to determine the insights of the students regarding the application of principles for a smooth animation style and creative output.

RESULTS

Based on the data gathered by the researchers, it was evident that the respondents agreed that the 12 Basic Principles of animation can help the students learn new techniques in the application of skills. The findings showed that the application of 12 principles in animation can enhance drawing techniques and moving objects became realistic.

DISCUSSIONS

The results revealed that learning the 12 Basic Principles was an effective technique in producing smooth and creative 2D animation output. Moreover, feedbacking scheme among learners must be considered to further enhance its application.
