Beginning of Sophomore Animation: Bouncing Balls Is Harder Than You Think

BOUNCE!


By D. McCall




This Project is a bouncing ball.



As simple as it may sound, it is actually a very time consuming and labor intensive project for such a 

simple product. At first, I started with the lower video, created in photoshop. It's pretty plain, without 

any squash or stretch attributes. Photoshop is NOT an ideal platform for making animations of any 

kind, so an animation like this is as expected. The animation on top, however, was created in Adobe 

After Effects, which is the perfect program for making animations like this. So, with an added squash 

and stretch, paired with a bounce of the edge of the screen, it looks FAR better. In all, I enjoyed this 

project and am happy with the final product.
