The Bouncing Ball

I am working on this basic animation, trying to feel the weight as well as the timing and spacing of a bouncing ball. Just having fun.
Any other day I would have applied physics to the object and let the computer calculate it for me, but now I'm just focused on understanding how things work. What better way to do that than key-framing it.

This is the thought behind this animation:

First Stuff at Animation Mentor

Spring Classes at Animation Mentor Started already and I'm having a blast. We are starting with the basics wich is cool with me because I want to learn everything from the masters. My fellow students are as enthusiastic as I am about Character Animation and the entire community is very supporting. Here are the first thing I have made studying poses:

My Character Animation Year

Ok...

I Have called this year "my character animation year"!. I decided I was not going to wait any longer to follow my dreams, so as the first step I became a student at Animation Mentor. I'm also going to be active at The 10 Second Club.

I created this blog as a journal to report on this journey I just started, and decided to use English as the language because that is the one I have to use at Animation Mentor. I'm hoping to share this with them too.

My English is not too good so bare with me here.

Let the ride begin.
