β€œDescribe how you would apply the principle of "squash and stretch" to the "fall contact" and "recovery" poses in a jump animation to make the landing appear more realistic. Explain how adjusting the timing between the "anticipation" and "jump cut" poses affects the perceived power and speed of the jump. Describe how you would modify the "mid-air pose" to convey a sense of weightlessness or a particular style (e.g., adding a spin or adjusting the character's balance).”
