Today we practiced animating in Krita, starting with the most basic of animations – the bouncing ball. A bouncing ball was part of the portfolio I presented when applying for this course, so it was good to revisit it again. It was an opportunity to approach it a little differently to before.
I based this 1 on reference of a Tennis ball being bounced.
And this 1 on the bouncing of a Bowling Ball…and using Youtube for good reason.
I then found the bouncing ball animation utilised to a slightly comedic effect at the beginning of episode 3 of season 1 of Laid Back Camp/Yuru Camp while I was watching it.
To further my studies on animation, I will be looking more into the 12 principles of animation that the Nine Old Men of Disney put together. This video I found was a good way to sum it up briefly, and refer to when I need to remember what I could have missed in the creative process..
