Bouncing Ball animation

The Project 

This is the new bouncing ball animation, much like the one done originally last year. Overall we created a scene and ball in Photoshop then brought it to life in After Effects. Going through Photoshop was easy, creating three separate layers, one for the ground the sky and the last one for the ball. After adding highlighting to it we the transferred it to After Effects. In there we added animations to the ball, basically making it move across the screen and putting squash and stretch along with rotating it along the way.

What I Learned 

Before this project I had never really used After effects so through the duration of this project I learned a lot about how to use it correctly and easily. I learned how to use tools, such as, the rotate tool, the move tool, and the anchor tool. Also I earned how to squash and stretch effectively to really make it look a bot more realistic here and there.

Next Time

If the occasion ever cam where I would do this project again I would use squash and stretch more effectively and add more rotation onto the ball. Maybe add n a sun and make the clouds move as well in the background. Also, maybe I'd make the balls bouncing pattern more unique.
