# Quick Principles Refresher
You know these. Here's the checklist.
## The 12
1. **Squash/Stretch** - Volume constant, shape varies. Check your impacts and fast motion.
2. **Anticipation** - Is the audience prepared? Opposite direction, proportional to action.
3. **Staging** - Silhouette test. One idea. Where's the eye going?
4. **Straight Ahead / Pose to Pose** - Right method for this shot? Maybe hybrid.
