Bouncing Ball

Hey there it's Simply, Ann and I am ecstatic to show you my first animation I made in my e9 class. At first it was hard starting it but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a lot easier. I glad that we got to do this project because it help me to understand how animation all works. This ball is demonstrating squash and stretch, which is a technique that is applied to animations such as my ball. Squash and stretch gives the ball more exaggerated movements, in this case I am using it to show more force and impact the flexible ball has . The squash position shows that the ball form has expanded to hit the ground this gives the appeal of a proper bounce, the stretch position shows the balls form has extended. This gives the appeal that the ball is being pulled by gravity, and its coming faster to the ground. Without squash and stretch you would have no bounce you ball would seem lifeless, but with this method you would have a great lively ball. These are just a few things about squash and stretch to pick up  while doing a animation, thanks for reading.

xoxo Simply, Ann
