Bouncing ball Animation 

   

The Process

  Animation is a new thing for all of us and at first was sort of confusing. We had to make separate layers to be able to make the ground, the sky and the many layers for the ball.  We made a gradient for the ball and was optional to make a gradient for the ground and the sky. We had to make at least 8 layers just for the ball to be able to get the affect of the ball bouncing. Then we had to make frames to be able to play the animation and have it set to play forever.

What we learned

  We learned that to make a proper animation we have to have layers. Also that we have to shape the ball to have the effect of it bouncing, meaning that you would have to stretch it and squish it. I learned that to make the animation move we have to have the setting on timeline and make frames. 

What i would do differently

  Something i would do differently would be to change the color of the ball. i feel like the ball color kind of blends into the grass and sky. I would also add clouds because my background looks plane and all i have is a gradient on ground and not the sky. I would make my layers closer together because my animation is really slow and you can see how it slows down at the end.
