exaggeration-mastery

Exaggeration isn't about making things unrealistic—it's about making things feel true. A perfect photographic copy of motion often feels dead on screen. Animation requires pushing beyond literal reality to capture the essence of movement, emotion, and intent.

The camera lies: Film loses dimension, haptic feedback, and environmental immersion. What reads clearly in real life often flattens on screen. Exaggeration compensates for this loss.

Essence over accuracy: Exaggeration distills motion to its essential quality. A sad slump becomes sadder. A joyful leap becomes more joyful. The caricature captures truth the photograph misses.
