In this week’s, George gave me feedback on my bouncing ball animation. He suggested that in the planning stage I should add two more frames at the first two peaks, so the ball slows down more naturally. He also pointed out that the ball was rotating in the wrong direction. At the end of the animation, the ball should stop instead of falling down. Finally, between frame 90 and 98, the ball jumped too far, and I need to adjust the spacing. This feedback helps me to improve my timing and planning for the next practice.

This is the result after I made the corrections based on the feedback.

This week the topic was the introduction and bouncing ball animation. We learned how timing and spacing can make the movement look natural. George also showed us how to check the playback setting in Maya and use 24 fps real-time. Before starting, I made some planning for the ball path and timing. This helped me to understand the process better. I uploaded my animation to SyncSketch for feedback.
