Bouncing Ball

In Animation we were assigned to create a video of a ball bouncing. We created a horizon line using Photoshop and made a sphere with special effects. We then used keynotes to record the actions our ball made. Once we finished, we saved it and opened it on Adobe After Effects. The purpose was to show how After Effects is more efficient than Photoshop when making this video. On After Effects you are able to add to your actions making your ball look more natural when bouncing. I found that making the ball bounce at a consistent pace and slowly stopping was easy. Once you start adding the special effects of making the ball's guide lines arc and having the ball squash/stretch when coming up from hitting the floor, it gets a little tougher. After following the instructions, I ended up with an animated video of a ball bouncing that looked natural and was pleasing to the eye.

 While filming my video I learned about the many different shots you can take while filming. These shots can not only make your video look more professional but it also adds to the meaning of each clip. I also learned that short clips of the subjects doing individual jobs in the video make the viewer more interested in what your showing. If you record the subject the whole time then your video is boring and your viewer will lose interest. 

I will use this new information when ever I film. It will help me make my video's more clean and professional. It will also help me keep the audience interested in what I am showing.
