follow-through-overlapping

Nothing stops all at once. When a character halts, their hair keeps moving. When a car brakes, passengers lurch forward. Follow through and overlapping action capture how different parts of a system respond to forces at different rates—the principle that makes animation feel physically grounded.

Follow Through: When the main body stops, appendages continue moving due to momentum, then settle. The termination behavior of motion.

Overlapping Action: Different parts move at different rates throughout motion, not just at stops. Hair doesn't start moving when the head starts—it drags behind, then catches up. The continuous offset of timing.
