anticipation

In animation, the phrase anticipation is used to describe the over-exaggerated moment of anticipatory motion that precedes an action. For example, if a character were about to throw a ball, the long wind-up and throw sequence of events, which precede the ball leaving the hand, would be considered the 'anticipation.'
