Different parts of the body move at different times, creating natural motion. When a character waves, the shoulder moves first, followed by the arm, then the hand.

Characters need subtle movement (like blinking or breathing) even when still, to avoid a "dead" appearance and maintain visual interest.

Natural movements follow arcing paths rather than straight lines. Characters should move in curves to achieve smooth, realistic animations.

Maintaining visual continuity across shots ensures natural and logical transitions between scenes, creating a cohesive animation.
