Glossary:
Animatic:  A movie with sound that is developed from the storyboard. The storyboard panel is exposed for the duration of the scene and at times, the characters are placed on a trajectory to indicate motion. The camera moves are also animated. The animatic is used to determine the rhythm of a project and provides a good overview of the project before beginning production.
Panel:  In a storyboard, a panel is a frame in a shot. A shot can be composed of one or several panels.
Scene:  A shot in a movie or show. A sequence is composed of several scenes. A scene changes to another scene by a simple cut or transition.
Storyboard:  A visual plan of all the scenes and shots in an animation. The storyboard indicates what will happen, when it will happen and how the objects in a scene are laid out.

-Squash and Stretch: provides the illusion of volume and character of an object
-Slow in and Slow out:Fewer drawings make the action look fast, Lesser drawings make the action look slower
-Arc: all actions follow a slightly cirucular path
-Timing:makes the appearance of an object abide to the laws of physics

 -Follow through and Overlapping: When the main body of the character stops, all other parts continue to catch up to the main mass.
