Bounce and Fall
Week 1 in Character animation course started with exploring basic principles of animation. The bouncing ball is the first exercise that helps to get a grip on the gravity of an object, texture and weight. It also encouraged me to start using TVPaint. In my sketchbook I made notes on the useful features of the software and how to get started on it. I also made some sketches of my experimentation that I did in class using a bowling ball and dropping it to the floor to see how the velocity of the ball changed in mid air and how far it would bounce back.
