Logic: simulate animations to be more real, based on sound animation
principles.
The “old men of animation” established the
12
principles of animation when working for the Disney studios. While not all
of the principles are fully supported by Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 (or 2007, or
2013), there is
much that we can learn that will improve our presentations.
Real objects are real! That is, they have dimensions, are composed of matter
and the real world can interact with them. For example, if you were to drop the
tennis ball, the ball would fall, accelerating, hit the ground and bounce.
Staging is not only a very important animation principle, it is well
supported within PowerPoint.
We can use this to our advantage.
Technique 2- animation focal points
The best way to explain animation focal point is with a movie.
On your slide, you first
select the area of your slide where you want to focus the
audience attention. You then build the graphic and animation effects around that
point.
Lastly, you can combine multiple effects and principles, which I have through
hidden pivots!
