Rules of animation; Follow through and overlapping action

Follow through and Overlapping action

Follow through and overlapping action are two closely related animation techniques that help render more realistic movement in animation. Follow through is the technique of making separate objects such as arms for instance will continue to move after the boday has stopped moving. Overlapping action is the method of having different parts fall at different speeds due to the different weights that one wants applied to the objects. This can be seen when a person jumps their arms are lighter than their body so the arms will be dragged behind the body.
