The Illusion of Life is an incredibly good book if you are wanting to read about the history of Disney animation and all the techniques the pioneering animators used. The book is interesting as it follows the history of Walt Disney and his company from before and after his death and shows concept art never before seen from various Disney films. I've wanted to get my hands on this book for a very long time for one particular chapter; The 12 Principles of Animation. These 'principles' are what the animators followed when animating their characters, below are the 12:
- Squash and Stretch
- Anticipation
- Staging
- Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose
- Follow Through and Overlapping Action
- Slow in and Slow Out
- Arc
- Secondary Action
- Timing
- Exaggeration
- Solid Drawing
- Appeal
