Bouncy Balls!


This week's focus has been primarily on the basics of 2d and 3d animation, and that mainly means basic physics. Ive seen the whole 'Ball-bouncy-test' thing done before by various friends, so I knew we would have to do something similar.

For 2D principles and animation, we were told to draw a very bouncy, football-type ball, and then to animate a cannonball or bowling ball, basically to show something heavy, and then something light and bouncy. This process is called 'Squash & Stretch', and where appropriate a stretch and squash of the ball is meant to be applied to exaggerate speed, motion and weight.

Heavy


I apologise for the lighting, its quite hard to see the balls at some points! But gives you a basic idea.
