Bouncing Balls

[pasithea]

So... I did my bouncing ball animation. In all honesty it still needed some fine tuning to really be stunning but it was enough to make most of my class glare at me and my new instructor to notice me.

Lotsa things I would improve. Make the little ball more consistent in its rubberiness. Make the big one emote its personality a bit better and 'jump' a bit better. Still. It isn't terrible for an evening of work, is it?

Very nice. You gave them character. I also like your use of editing, with the little ball off frame and the larger ball following the action.

Some expression changing on the smaller ball might have been good.

All in all a feel of early Pixar. I'm impressed.
