| Principle | Brand/Marketing Implementation |
|---|---|
| Squash & Stretch | Product bounce, logo elasticity |
| Anticipation | Build-up to reveal, suspense |
| Staging | Product hero shots, focal control |
| Straight Ahead / Pose to Pose | Story flow vs key moments |
| Follow Through / Overlapping | Logo elements settle, tagline delay |
| Slow In / Slow Out | Dramatic reveals, smooth motion |
| Arc | Sweeping camera, product arcs |
| Secondary Action | Environment responds to product |
| Timing | Match brand energy, music sync |
| Exaggeration | Brand personality amplification |
| Solid Drawing | Consistent brand identity in motion |
| Appeal | Memorable, emotionally resonant |
Squash & Stretch: Products can bounce on landing for energy. Logo elements stretch during reveals. Text can have elastic emphasis. Match brand personality—luxury minimal, playful bouncy.
Anticipation: Build suspense before product reveal. Pause before tagline appears. Sound design wind-up precedes visual payoff. Create expectation, then deliver.
Staging: Product is always the hero. Lighting directs to focal point. Background supports, never competes. Clear visual hierarchy every frame.
Straight Ahead vs Pose to Pose: Story-driven commercials flow naturally (straight ahead energy). Key reveal moments are precisely posed. Blend both—flow to moments of impact.
Follow Through & Overlapping: Logo elements settle at different rates. Tagline appears after logo lands. Product features animate in sequence. Creates natural, alive feeling.
Slow In / Slow Out: Dramatic reveals use long ease-in. Impact moments snap. Premium brands use slower, more deliberate timing. Energetic brands use faster, snappier easing.
Arc: Camera movements sweep in arcs. Products tumble naturally. Logo elements flow, don't snap. Text can follow curved paths for dynamism.
Secondary Action: Environment responds to product presence. Particles, light rays, reflections. Music and motion sync. Every element reinforces the message.
Timing: Match brand energy profile. Luxury: slow, deliberate (500-800ms). Tech: precise, efficient (200-400ms). Playful: bouncy, energetic (300-500ms with overshoot). Sync to music beats.
Exaggeration: Amplify brand personality traits. Confident brands use bold, decisive motion. Friendly brands use rounded, bouncy motion. Exaggeration makes brand memorable.
Solid Drawing: Logo maintains integrity in motion. Brand colors consistent throughout. Typography respects brand guidelines. Motion style matches brand identity system.
Appeal: Animation should evoke target emotion. Trust, excitement, comfort, aspiration. Every motion choice serves brand message. Memorable moments people want to rewatch.
