This is my first test for the bouncing ball animation, I did some thorough in depth research considering the fluidity of the movement, I wanted to make sure it looked more natural so I overlapped some key frames to smoothen the motion after every bounce. I was pleased with the outcome and will continue to improve with every new animation I do considering the principles I have learned from lessons online and offline in class and at home. i managed to find a good resource to help guide step by step on the position of the ball....http://www.avneriginal.com/blog/2008/04/25/ball-bounce-with-a-tail/ and also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDL9pvg5VDc

This is my second attempt on the ball bouncing across screen, i edited the guide given to me by my teacher steve from my 1st yr in level 0 and spread the space apart from the ball and slowed the transition down as it reached its highest peak in the air. Its a better improvement from my last attempt and i have picked up hints and tips.

This is 1st attempt at the bounce animation of my ball going across the screen, my goal was to maintain some realism, I hope to improve on this technique in the future, unfortunately because the frame rate was 25 frames and I had the settings put to HD pal which made it seem a little fast, I hope you all like it, I thought it looked good for my 1st time. I used a backdrop JPG image for a ball bounce as a guide for this animation.
