Week 4 Animation Mentor - Basic Foundation

Hello Blog readers!

So this particular week was quite interesting, we had to animate another bouncing ball, but this time we are doing two! Where one has to look heavier then the other. So as a challenge for myself I thought I would add a collision, and made it so that the heavier ball will collide with the lighter ball, you will see this in the animation. It was definitely tricky for sure, and I was having a hard time getting the timing of the beach ball (Which is my lighter ball). You see the tricky thing I was going for, was that the lighter ball is going to be larger then the heavier ball, so I had to really make sure that is portrayed well in the animation.

Also this week we got a different mentor, a substitute, but he was just as good :). I learnt lots from him in terms of planning, where he felt they were more like guidelines to be fixed when you are actually animating, I am still having a hard time figuring out frames in the sense of time in seconds, but I think I will pick it up as I do more animation :).

Anyways thank you again for visiting, and will be posting again next week.
