Task 8 - Squash and Stretch (Ball Bounce)

Here I have created two short animations of a ball bounce to help me better understand the principle of squash and stretch. The first animation is of a ball bouncing straight up and down to show the basics of squash and stretch.

What went well:

• Clear example of squash and stretch
• Sounds matches the movement

What to improve:

• Ball bounces a little slow
• Doesn't bounce straight up and down, there is some side movements

How to combat this:

• Plan the frames and movement more

The second animation shows a ball bouncing across the screen to practice squash and stretch with side ways movement so the ball interacts with the environment more.

What went well:

• Clear example of squash and stretch
• Speed of the ball is better then first animation

What to improve:

• Ball sizing could be more consistent
• Environment could have been more complex

How to combat this:

• Plan more effective way to keep size consistent
• Plan out the environment more
