Class 1: Week 4

April 22nd, 2005

We received an introduction on the principle of "timing" during our lecture this week. Timing is easily one of the most important of the 12 principles, as it's responsible for giving movement both meaning and emotion.

The assignment for this week was to animate another ball, (orthographic side view again), but this time with squash & stretch applied to it.

Here is my first attempt

The ball is looking good, but is missing an extra hop at the end. Here is the first revision.

I've added the extra bounce that was needed, but now it stops rolling too soon. Here is the final.

Much better, wouldn't you say?!
