# Basic Principles of Complex Animation

- This part is only useful once you know how to manipulate tags efficiently.
- The speed of change of the tags will be dependent on how it’s timed.
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If the change is quick and the timing is short, it’ll be </span>****intense****.
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If the change is slow and the timing is long, it’ll be </span>****relaxed****.

#### Animated Tag Stacking

##### \\t Tag Stacking

- 0<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> - Starting time (by the millisecond)</span>
- ****4900****<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> - Ending time (by the millisecond)</span>
- ****1****<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> - Acceleration of the animation (multiplier of 1)</span>
    - You can stack \\t tags in the same line as long as you add the appropriate starting and ending time.
    - The Numbers marked in yellow are variables and can be adjusted + it’s relative to the timed line.
        - In this case, the line is 5 seconds long (5000ms)

##### Move Stacking

- Line 15 is moving on the 30th of a second
- Line 16 is moving at a full second
- The final position of Line 15 is the starting position of Line 16
    - By this, since the move tag can’t be stacked in one line, we go around this by using multiple lines, creating an illusion of acceleration.

- It’s messy, I know.
