Principles of Motion: An Open Educational Resource

Abstract

Iowa State University has made extensive efforts at providing grant funding for open educational resources, which are implemented to lower the costs of resources to students by creating high quality, free to use educational materials that are published using the Creative Commons licenses. As a recipient of the grant, I created and published a free, educational 43-minute video explaining the Principles of Motion. These principles provide a new but familiar framework derived from the foundations of visual design, the 12 Principles of Animation by the Disney animators Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, and film/TV cinematography. These new principles are presented in a simple and straightforward manner using design terminology that fits with today’s design pedagogy, all in a free-to-use online format that is easily accessible.
