4 Principles of Stop Motion

Anticipation: The lead up to an action. For example, a person doesn't just throw a football. They bring their arm back and wind up the throw, then throw it.

Squash and Stretch: Giving the perception of, lets say, ones weight. Say a person was carrying something heavy, like a log over their shoulders. The person would not just walk straight and with ease, they'd be hunched over, walking at a slower than normal pace.

Staging: Lets say someone was trying to show a character of theirs that they were mad, and wanted to do so obviously, so anyone could identify it. This person would have the character's eyebrows downward, arms crossed, pout in the lip, to show off a non-pleasant mood.
