1 Know your purpose

Before you start animating, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your animation. What is the message, emotion, or action that you want to communicate? Who is your target audience and what are their needs and expectations? How will your animation fit into the context of your project or platform? Having a clear purpose will help you focus your animation and avoid unnecessary or distracting elements.

Understand your target audience. Do the research. Ask questions, focus groups, polls and email. Find out what emotional triggers the majority of your target audience related to in other pictures. The mastery of cinematic syntax is key in both animation and live action.

Choose a style that suits your purpose and audience. Different styles of animation have different effects on the viewer’s emotions and expectations. For example, 2D animation can be more expressive and realistic than 3D animation, but it can also be more limited in terms of movement and depth. You should choose a style that matches your message and your target audience.

2 Choose your style

The style of your animation should match your purpose and your audience. For example, if you want to create a fun and playful animation, you might use bright colors, cartoonish shapes, and exaggerated movements. If you want to create a professional and informative animation, you might use more realistic colors, shapes, and movements. You can also use different styles to create contrast, hierarchy, or emphasis in your animation. For example, you can use a simple and minimal style for the background and a more detailed and dynamic style for the foreground.

3 Use the principles of animation

The principles of animation are a set of guidelines that help you create realistic and appealing animations. They include concepts such as timing, spacing, easing, squash and stretch, anticipation, follow through, and overlap. By applying these principles, you can create animations that have a natural and smooth motion, a sense of weight and force, and a sense of personality and expression. You can also use these principles to create variations and surprises in your animation, which can keep the viewer's attention and interest.

4 Use transitions and effects

Transitions and effects are techniques that help you connect and enhance your animation. Transitions are the changes between different scenes or states of your animation. They can help you create a smooth and seamless flow, a clear and logical sequence, or a dramatic and unexpected change. Effects are the visual or audio elements that add to your animation. They can help you create a mood, a tone, or an atmosphere, such as lighting, shadows, sound, or text. You can use transitions and effects to create contrast, emphasis, or harmony in your animation.

5 Test and refine

The final step of creating animations is to test and refine them. You need to check if your animation works as intended, if it conveys your purpose clearly, if it matches your style consistently, if it follows the principles of animation effectively, and if it uses transitions and effects appropriately. You can test your animation by yourself, by asking for feedback from others, or by using tools such as prototypes, previews, or analytics. You can refine your animation by making adjustments, improvements, or corrections based on your testing results.

Feedback before sharing a fully developed pitch is key, don't be afraid to ask for it even if it's only on a specific element of a deck. Variety too is key to keeping engagement up, it's fine to have a key area of focus but be sure to bring in other elements too and share anything that's interesting to the audience.

One helpful tip Be the surprise guest at the visual party. It's like throwing confetti mid scene unexpected moments keep eyes glued to the screen! ???? Let me tell you about an example that's more captivating than a cat video on the internet: "Dynamic Transitions." It's like a magic trick between scenes. Smooth transitions make your animation a seamless spectacle. Abracadabra, and they're hooked! ??? And, of course, the "Timing Tango." Play with pacing like a dance maestro. A well timed pause can be as powerful as a dramatic dip in a ballroom dance. Keep the rhythm, and your audience won't want to leave the dance floor! ???

For me, smart and original sound at key intuitive points and transitions is where it’s at for evoking the most emotion. Sounds tells the story in a way people can feel without looking.
