## Talk Description

In this talk, Tomáš will take a short dive into the principles of animation as the original Disney animators described them. Rather than focusing on a specific software, he will talk about the general artistic principles of motion, weight, and character that apply to all types of animation. Whether you want to create full-on animated characters or motion for abstract patterns and effects, this talk will be a great springboard to get you thinking about motion like an animator.



For questions and further discussion find the speaker in the Speaker's Corner right after their talk.
