2D - (Week 1)

In our first lesson learning about 2D, we videoed bouncing balls to use as reference and then put them into Adobe Flash, using the rotoscope method to animate them, while also keeping the trail there so we could see how the ball moves - this task wasn't really learning how to animate (especially as we don't use Flash for our 2D animation), but simply to better understand the way that the ball moved, looking at how its speed changes in relation to where it is, like gravity dragging the ball down faster, how it slows in and out, etc.

Here is my rotoscoped ball video:

We then used Adobe Flash to animate a ball bouncing while adding in squash and stretch.
