The 12 principles of animation... Not sure why I havent covered these until now, but here we are! This mini-series was a lot of fun to put together. Hope you enjoy it, and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
Special thanks to Animate With Alex for voicing all the animation quotes in this series (channel pending)!
