New and Improved Bouncing Ball

My last post I showed you my first computer animation. It wasn't very impressive, but it was something. This time, I return with an even better version of it. A red version. 

Now if that isn't enough to convince you, I am honestly confused. But I guess I can go into further detail. 

We started with making the background from three separate layers -the ground, the sky, and a path to follow. Eventually it would be deleted. Then I underwent the painstaking process of making about 30 layers of bouncing ball. It took a while, but eventually the basic animation was done. Then, I added an introduction frame, and an end frame.

This was the finished product:

Overall, I am quite happy. But I do need to start getting more creative.

The Making of The Bouncing Balls

I am back once to regale you the tales of my youth. This time I created my first GIF file. Nothing fancy really. I was tasked with creating a bouncing ball as you could probably guess. My class used PhotoShop for this, and we learned how to use the different layers, color tools, and the Timeline function.

I didn't know that PS let you animate things, so that was new. Also I learned how to animate it so that's good. Other than that, I didn't really learn anything new as I had done lego stop motion for three years a while ago, so you could say I have experience in animation.

Anyway, here is the finished product:

^ This is the snowy ground ^

I liked how easy it is to just make a simple animation, an I had lots of fun making this. What I'd do differently next time, I would like to add in some more details in the background, and more gradients. Hindsight is good.
