Continuous Loop Animations
Apply Disney's 12 principles to animations that never stop.
Principle Application
Squash & Stretch: Subtle scale oscillation (0.98-1.02) creates organic breathing. Avoid rigid mechanical loops.
Anticipation: Build anticipation into the loop cycle. Brief pause at extremes before reversing.
Staging: Loops should support, not dominate. Keep amplitude subtle for background elements.
Straight Ahead vs Pose-to-Pose: Design keyframe poses that loop seamlessly. End frame must flow into start frame.
Follow Through & Overlapping: Multi-part loops have elements at different phases. Three dots pulse with 120° phase offset.
Slow In/Slow Out: Use ease-in-out for smooth oscillations. Linear motion looks mechanical.
Arcs: Circular motion follows true arcs. Spinners rotate, pendulums swing, orbits circle.
