The Bounce of a Ball

Animated - 

             With this project, we learned two of the twelve principles of animation; 'Stretch and Squash' and 'Ease in and Ease out'.
From this, I learned that when using the timeline panel (Animation Panel) everything is to be done frame by frame. You have to repeat all the steps, which at first seemed complicated but got easier. The most difficult thing about the process was trying to get all the frames correctly organized in order for it to look as if the ball is actually bounding.
