WITH DELAYED SECONDARY ACTIONS, ALWAYS GET A GOOD FOLLOW-THROUGH ON LOOSE-MOVING SECONDARY OBJECTS, SUCH AS COATTAILS, HAIR, EARS, AND TAILS. IN THE SQUIRREL ACTION AS BELOW, THE FEET ARRIVE FIRST, THEN THE BODY RISES. AFTER THIS, THE ARMS MAY ARRIVE, FOLLOWED BY THE TAIL.

THE DOUBLE PENDULUM ACTION ABOVE ILLUSTRATES A PRIMARY ACTION OF THE DARK CIRCLE FROM A TO B, FOLLOWED BY TWO SECONDARY ACTIONS OF THE PENDULUMS. THIS PRINCIPLE IS ALSO APPLIED TO THE ACTION OF THE DOG GRABBING A BUTTERFLY WITH THE PRIMARY ACTION OF HIS ARMS. HIS HIPS AND BODY ARE SIMILAR TO THE TOP PENDULUM, AND HIS FEET AND TAIL ARE SECONDARY TO HIS HIPS, LIKE THE LOWER PENDULUM DIAGRAMS. THIS PRINCIPLE IS ALSO APPARENT IN HIS HEAD, WHICH SWINGS FROM HIS ARMS, AND THE EARS PENDULUM FROM THE HEAD.

DELAYED SECONDARY ACTIONS ARE EFFECTIVE IN PUTTING LIFE INTO POSES AND HOLDS. A CHAIN OF PARTS CAN ARRIVE LATE AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND IN DIFFERENT TIMINGS TO TAKE THE CURSE OFF ANY HELD DRAWING. THEN VARIOUS PARTS, SUCH AS THE EYES, CAN "TELEGRAPH" THE NEXT MOVE IN SECONDARY ACTIONS THAT PRECEDE IT. THUS, LIMITED ANIMATION FOR TV CAN BECOME VERY CONVINCING. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT AN ECONOMY ANIMATION FORMULA; IT IS BASED ON LIFE. NOTHING MOVES IN EQUAL COMPARTMENTS OF ALL PARTS IN UNISON.
