Excitement & Energy Animation
Create animations that energize, excite, and create dynamic, high-impact experiences.
Emotional Goal
Excitement builds through dynamic, escalating motion. Energy comes from fast, varied animations that create momentum and keep users engaged.
Disney Principles for Excitement
Squash & Stretch
Dynamic and impactful (20-35%). High-energy compression and extension. Objects feel springy and responsive.
Anticipation
Quick, building tension (100-150ms). Like a coiled spring. The anticipation itself creates excitement.
Staging
Dynamic compositions. Diagonal lines, asymmetric layouts. Nothing static—energy in every arrangement.
Straight Ahead Action
Embrace for particle effects, explosions, and dynamic backgrounds. Energetic spontaneity.
Follow Through & Overlapping Action
Bouncy, energetic overshoot. Elements don't just stop—they rebound with vitality.
Slow In & Slow Out
Aggressive acceleration curves. Fast starts, snappy stops. cubic-bezier(0.0, 0, 0.2, 1) for punch.
Arc
Dramatic, sweeping paths. High trajectories, dynamic curves. Motion that commands attention.
Secondary Action
Abundant energy effects. Particles, trails, glows. The environment responds to exciting moments.
Timing
Fast and punchy (100-300ms). Rapid sequences. Variety in timing creates rhythm and energy.
Exaggeration
High (25-40%). Push movements to feel impactful. Energy requires going beyond subtle.
Solid Drawing
Dynamic poses and forms. Lean into motion. Shapes that convey speed and force.
Appeal
Bold, high-contrast design. Saturated colors. Dynamic angles. Visual energy.
Timing Recommendations
| Element | Duration | Easing |
|---|---|---|
| Quick hit | 100-150ms | ease-out |
| Bounce | 300-400ms | spring |
| Reveal | 200-300ms | ease-out |
| Sequence step | 50-100ms | ease-out |
CSS Easing
--energy-snap: cubic-bezier(0.0, 0, 0.2, 1);
--energy-bounce: cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1);
--energy-punch: cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1);
