Principles of animation: timing and squash

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Sharpen your understanding of timing, spacing, and squash & stretch so actions feel believable and expressive. You’ll learn to read poses and motion choices the way animators do.

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through arcs, weight, and impact without rushing.

Common pitfalls to watch for

Over-squashing rigid objects, breaking material logic
Using even timing everywhere, making motion feel robotic
Adding squash without proper volume consistency
Ignoring anticipation/settle, so impacts feel weak
Confusing timing (frames) with spacing (distance between poses)

Difficulty and question count

Difficulty is mixed: you’ll get approachable fundamentals alongside trickier scenarios that test judgment and observation. Before you start, choose your question count and difficulty to match your goal—quick review, focused practice, or a full deep-dive.

Tips for better scores

When in doubt, ask what the audience should feel: weight, speed, softness, or force. Pick the option that supports clarity first, then realism, then style.
