The GIF from animation instructor Jorge R. Canedo demonstrates several concepts that you might not notice right away, but that add credibility and believability to the animation. For example, the way you make something bounce can add weight to it. Overlaying multiple types of animation on top of an object can give it a more consistent look.
If you’d like to learn more about the specifics, Canedo has a motion design course you can check out , although it starts at $ 65. However, observing the principles in action can help you decipher some of the animations you see in your design every day.
