Animation:
This week, instead of your usual post about an article or video, you have a special assignment based on the screening and related assignment we did this past Friday. For this post, identify and discuss at least SIX principles of animation that you observed in Up. You should be detailed in your description and analysis.
Don't forget to also complete the Weekly Comment post, as usual.
