Motion Blur

When it comes to fast animation, it’s a good idea to add a little bit of blur. This smooths your animation and makes it less jerky, and a little easier on the eyes. I add motion blur to just about everything.

Motion blur is most noticeable on fast movement, but even subtle motion blur helps.
