TASK II

Timing is crucial in your animation; the human brain has limitations on how quickly it can process information, if the limits are pushed to far it may hinder your audience’s ability to gain value from your animation. If the animation is too fast or there is too much text in one screen the audience becomes distracted or frustrated and may not be able to process the information effectively.
