Pose to pose animation
open-in-new
<p>Pose to pose is a term used in <a href="/facts/Animation/093f9nUg">animation</a>, for creating <a href="/facts/Key_frame/SeHhpINL">key poses</a> for characters and then <a href="/facts/Inbetweening/srIry6xL">inbetweening</a> them in intermediate frames to make the character appear to move from one pose to the next. Pose-to-pose is used in <a href="/facts/Traditional_animation/CqPeCPBY">traditional animation</a> as well as computer-based 3D animation. The opposite concept is <a href="/facts/Straight_ahead_animation/FxdMRCLs">straight ahead animation</a>, where the poses of a scene are not planned, which results in more loose and free animation, though with less control over the animation's <a href="/facts/12_basic_principles_of_animation/FUVACb2U">timing</a>. </p>
