This video is a perfect example of anticipation, because all of the movements in the bedroom have a small, slight motion preceding them to make them appear more natural and human-like. This is a computer animated short that I interpreted as dream-like. The video starts out with small subtle pulses in the walls, which builds anticipation fro something big to happen. In terms of animation, anticipation is a small movement that happens before a big one to prepare the object. In the video, you see this in the floors, walls, and the curtains of the windows. The movement brings inanimate objects to life through anticipation in the video, while leaving the viewer awestruck with the beauty of the piece.
