The bouncing ball exercise is essentially
my first animation. We started with 32 blank pages and numbered them
accordingly. The first step was to draw a horizon line in the same location on
each page, this ensured continuity. I then drew keyframes spaced out in the
pages, usually whenever the ball bounced I would draw it’s location. This
helped to make the frames between bounces accurate. My horizon line was not
very steady as I did not use a ruler, I thought as it’s my first animation it
should be freehand.
I pieced the animation together using the
software Istopmotion. To do this I set a camera up above my 32 pages and took a
photo of each frame. Once each photo was taken and pressed together in
Istopmotion, I exported the clip to the video editing software Final Cut. I did
this so I could repeat it five times over and add s soundtrack. I feel I could
have improved on my animation by adding a background that worked with the ball.
