7.2  Acting

Acting in animation focuses on conveying the personality, emotions, and intentions of characters through movement, expression, and interaction.

• Character Acting: Animating gestures, body language, and facial expressions to convey emotions and personality.

• Performance: Execution of the character's actions and expressions — timing, intensity, and delivery.

• Polish: Final refinement of small details to smooth out actions and ensure the animation feels fluid and emotionally resonant.
