Here, we were supposed to plan out the trajectory of a bouncing ball- its bounces, frames, and timing. Afterwards, we were tasked with giving it a ‘character’, making it alive somehow. For this, I drew a simple face on the ball, which interacts to the bouncing.
While the bouncing came out well enough, in my opinion, the face isn’t very clear most of the time, probably due to how similar I made the eyes and mouth. I shot this in 2s, but I’m considering adding more drawings and shooting it in 1s, to make it more fluid and maybe clear up the face.
Still, it was a good exercise that proved the importance of planning things ahead of time.
