Squash & Stretch Revisited

Squash & stretch is as old as animation itself and I'd like to talk about how you can use it to free your puppet animation from the rigid shackles of a bone structure (or at least make it look like it was freed).

00:00 - Start
02:17 - Squash to Create Anticipation
03:55 - Head Turns & Squashing (and other stuff)
06:48 - Squash & Stretch to emphasize speech
08:35 - Squash & Stretch for body turns
10:44 - When not to use squash & stretch
11:44 - Head turn using everything: squash & stretch, blink and head tilt
15:49 - Two ways to squash & stretch bones
18:07 - Squash & Stretch & Follow Through (on full body turn example)
