Project 3: Bouncing Ball, 3/24
My animation tells the story of what happens when the bouncing DVD Video logo finally hits the corner.




Storyboard:

Animation Principle 1: Squash and Stretch
I employed squash and stretch as much as I could whenever the ball moved, especially when it bounced.


Animation Principle 2: Follow-Through
When the ball rolls from one end of the table to the other, it doesn't stop immediately but overshoots just a little (left) and then backs up slightly into place (right).


Animation Principle 3: Anticipation
Before the 3D ball emerges from the TV screen, the logo pauses and then shrinks in anticipation of the movement.



Final Animation:
I animated the scene using Playblast in three separate shots, which I combined into one movie using a video editor.
Note:
All models and textures for the living room scene were obtained on cgtrader and were created by user a-anas97. The DVD logo and poster image were also downloaded from the Internet.
