Since I haven't really animated much in the past few years, I have to learn all this stuff over again!
I pack my video with progress clips so vimeo recognizes it as a video to upload. With that said, the red ball is my final. This exercise didn't take too long at first, but the more I tweaked it the more ridiculous it became and the more time I spent on it. My big problem was with the arc of the first full bounce. It just kept appearing really floaty or evenly timed and it bugged me. Eventually, I just said I'm done with the exercise, and this is what I ended up with. Like my previous exercise, the frame numbers indicate new drawings.
The progression:
Final - Red ball
Initial planning - shows the arc path and my timing charts I didn't follow in the end.
Initial planning #2 - minus the arc path for bounce clarity
Inked - added a more prominent brush stroke for the ball rather than pencil
Playing with arc - this one the ball is filled in with white
... spared you all the other tweaking videos...
Final again - Red ball (same as beginning)
