Think like a comedian setting up a punchline. Every great moment is earned by what came before. The windup is half the pitch.

Before animating any action, ask: What prepares the audience for this?

Anticipation isn't just physical preparation—it's a promise. You're telling the audience "something's coming" so they're primed to receive it. The payoff is keeping that promise with interest.
