Reviewing last week's last week Lecture - today's was cancelled

Jonathan Hudgson cancelled his lecture today so this blog is based on reviewing the 2 week old lecture from the Power Point he gave me after last week's lecture. The exploration of "Timing in animation" taught the principles on which storytelling gems like anticipation are achieved. Every action must have timing taken into consideration to effectively communicate the animator's ideas, as shown in these examples below. This will be explored in more depth later.
