Bouncing Ball

Hey all! This week we're starting back at the beginning and doing the bouncing ball. Here's the layout that I did.

Start with the motion path, or the arcs that the ball is going to be moving on. Next, draw the Key poses of the ball: 1, 9, 15, 23, & 30. After that, fill in the rest of the balls. It should look like the picture. This exercise is to help figure out timing and spacing. One thing you should notice is that when the balls are at the top of the arcs and closer together, they are more round, and when they are further apart, they stretch. Once you've drawn the layout, start tracing each individual ball and test it out. The balls should all have the same volume so they look like the same ball.

Let's try to have everything shot and ready to view before club starts so we can jump right into the critiques. Can't wait to see whet your animations look like!

If you have questions or anything, you can write a comment on the blog or email me. PEACE!
