Animation project

For the first project in the animation quarter we were instructed to make an animation of a ball bouncing. In this project we reviewed the use of the gradient tool.

Along with the use of gradients we create a "cartoonish" animation.


Here is a great video for learning more on the basic principles of animation and squash and stretch
