My First Animation in Ecomm

This is the first animation I've ever made! The process of making the animation is very interesting and was cool to learn about. While animating the ball bouncing I learned 2 of the fundamentals of animation and they are "ease in and ease out" and "squash and stretch". These fundamentals are to make your eye see a realistic motion in the animation and to deceive your eye.

The Process of this animation.

 The "ease in and ease out" process is actually very important in animation, it makes the animation look realistic. The process makes the frames within the animation adapt to the process of the animation to make things "ease" into being slow and "ease" into being fast. The closer the frames of the ball is to each other the faster the ball goes. "Squash and stretch" is the other process we learned and it deals with another principle that is EXAGGERATE EVERYTHING. In animation you want to exaggerate everything to make it look more interesting and energetic. So squash and stretch is  when you stretch the object you animate to create the appearance of motion. Both of these techniques are used to create a sense of realistic motion within the animation.

What I could of done better/what I can improve on.

I really enjoy the results that I made but I believe some things could of gone better. Half way into the project I had an issue with size margins and how my animation was only a fraction of the huge document size so I wasn't able to save it correctly. Another issue I had was that when you "squash and stretch" you are suppose to make your sizes still equivalent meaning that if its stretched it still hold the same about of area. I had a bit of trouble finding the perfect size for each frame and it was a big hassle but after practice I will get a lot better.
