Squash and Stretch (Part 2)-

Squash and stretch works in accord with timing; when convey successfully, viewers receive a ‘felt’ sense of mass and strength of force in conversation.

So to begin with, make of mass and strength of force is in need to be understood and felt prior to animating. These ‘felt’ senses will help guide squash and stretch and timing, giving them a relevant sense of life, avoiding visual squash and stretch without flavors.

Timing is also a critical role in outcome texture of squash and stretch.

For me, squash and stretch begin from the skeletal structure; as it ebbs and flows, folding in and outward, it causes the attaching mass to response, compress or stretch; its physical property of surface skin also a role in surface outlook.

Squash and stretch happens from overall structural standpoint and also happens within various compartments of structure, in same and opposing directions. These build-ups and relaxes in tension within compartments is visible through fold lines of skin and fabric.
