Episode notes

There's only so much that's been written about animation. And most of it, if we're on a cis conjecture or based on super outdated research,. Not the most up to date stuff. So I chose to go even deeper and read books about how eyes and motion detection in the human visual system actually work. There's a lot of really good information in there. What's even more awesome is when you find studies that support that and you can then reference them.

Rachel Nabors gives us a deep-dive into the art & science of web animation. She motivates us to sell animation as a UX enhancement, rather than a delight factor. She also exhorts us to animate ethically and responsibly.
