Project 3: Bouncing Ball

StoryboardTemplate.pdf

Principle 1: Squish and Stretch

Throughout the animation, the ball squishes and stretches when preparing to jump and when flying through the air.

Principle 2: Anticipation

The ball holds in a squished position for an extra second or two before launching into the air. It also does not immediately come down and the viewer thinks it will land on the other side, setting up the surprise at the end.

Principle 10: Exaggeration

The wall and the ball both represent exaggeration, as the wall is ridiculously tall and the ball squishes down to be almost flat in order to bounce so high (see second photo) and then stretches to be extremely thin.

Extra: I also used arc (7) for the path of the ball and I used pose to pose (4) to draw the path itself, but these would be difficult to get screenshots of.
