Alright, Week 3 is over... Another lecture & another assignment.
As for the lecture Its mostly about Timing and Spacing, basically what animation is all about.
Although it seems an easy task to animate a bouncing ball, but believe me Its not as easy as it looks...
Timing and spacing is crucial here, and one mistake turns all your efforts to a bad looking animation. Maybe not bad but not as good as it should be.
here's the bouncing ball assignment that I submitted yesterday
I had some comments about the animation from the AM community, mistakes which I didn't notice before, and I'm working on it to submit with the next assignment revision section.
I have to fix issues in the ease ins & outs, ball rotation at the end... A couple of tweaks in the graph editor.
As for the new assignment, there's no pose for Stu this week, we're going to concentrate on the bouncing ball, this time weight will play a big role in the animation. We have to animate both a light ball (soccer, beach ball) and a heavy ball (bowling, cannon ball) that bounce then come to a stop in the same shot. Plus the thumbnail drawings showing the planning process for the assignment.

Yeah, timing isn't easy. The ball still feels like its hanging in the air and the spin is off. Keep at it Ameer, I know you'll be doing great things soon.
