the bouncy ball task for me was fun, although it looked simple once i understood the basics of making this ball come to life i thought "aha" this wont take a lot of time, but actually its a lot fiddlier than i thought it would be, i think my final outcome is good considering the concept of the ball bouncing a few times and then rolling of but what i realised when i filmed it is that i actually didnt compress the ball enough when it hit the ground to make it feel alive, it stayed very 2D and unrealistic, this is something i have to improve on as it gave the animation a lack of life. My idea for the bouncy ball came from this video - Wall E meets bouncy balls, instead of doing a big heavy bootball or anthing, i wanted something lighter and airy like a ping pong ball and so when i found this video, i studied the bouncing ball very carefully over and over again untill i got the gist of how it should look and feel to the audience and went from there, as i said i am not 100% pleased with the outcome but i learnt more than i ever could making these mistakes than being afraid of just going for it and thinking too much about it.
