the red ball

ive started working on  my animating abilities lately... haven't done much because ive been modeling, lighting, compositing drawing storyboards and concepts, etc, etc... lately ive been in this artsy mood ya know? just wanting to stay traditional and draw. ive become somewhat "put off" by the whole "CG thing". but when i started animating-even this simple bouncing, ball my faith in the computer generated world was instantaneously renewed. i animated two of the "bouncing ball"exercises and working on a third... ive been working on using the same ball but applying different masses; thus affecting the balls bounce bounce and its arcs... i can only hope if i practice animating these red balls and learn to perfect techniques it will help make me a master character animator some time down the road. im going to keep posting new animations as i finish them. in addition i will be submitting more rough sketches and storyboards to show the origin of the animations and such. criticism is more than welcome. hope you all enjoy!
