Slow in Slow Out

 

Slow and Steady

The movement of the human body, and most other objects, needs time to accelerate and slow down. For this reason, an animation looks more realistic if it has more frames near the beginning and end of a movement, and fewer in the middle. This principle goes for characters moving between two extreme poses, such as sitting down and standing up, but also for inanimate and moving objects.


Animation without Slow In and
Slow Out between the key frames appears abrupt, mechanical, and stiff.

Slow In and Slow Out also
relates to the weight or mass of an object. An oil tanker takes longer to get up
to full speed and longer to stop than a speedboat will.
