Follow through and Overlapping action

Follow through and overlap refers to loose parts of an object or character that continue moving even after the action.

Hammer animation

                                 
Here is an example of follow through in action. As the hammer leads the primary action, the spring follows. When the hammer falls down and contacts the ground the spring emphasizes how they are made of different materials, which means different volumes in weight. The way the spring comes to a hold quickly shows it is made out of a none stretchy light material. Overall adding follow through and overlapping action adds a termination to the anticipation. the only critique would have been to add a bend handle this would add squash and stretch and add some more fluidity to the scene.

Here is the same animation but in a sequence this represents overlapping action and how one object can follow a leading object in a sequence.

Cape animation 

This animation executes the use of  follow through in the form of cloth on a cape. The motion shows forces of locomotion as the air resistance and weight effect the motion of the fabric. When the ball flies off the diving board the cape appears as though the wind picks up and the ball blows away. The only thing to change would be study cloth follow through more carefully to get a more accurate effect.
