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.
