Animation Review
Find, improve and review motion against a senior craft bar.
What it is
Three of Emil Kowalski’s motion skills working as one loop: find places that should animate, improve existing motion, and review animation code against a high craft bar.
Bundles 3 commands: find-animation-opportunities / improve-animations / review-animations
Find, improve and review motion in a codebase against a senior craft bar.
Why it matters for design
- Surfaces UI that should move but doesn’t, and rejects motion that shouldn’t.
- Turns vague ‘make it feel nicer’ into a prioritised motion audit.
- Holds animation to a named craft bar, not personal taste.
What it covers
- Find animation opportunities
- Improve animations
- Review animations
- Craft bar
