Rolling Ball Animation

Overall I am very happy with my rolling ball animation! This was my first animation ever and my first time using TVPaint so I’m really amazed at how easy it was! I definitely have a lot to learn. There are issues with the speed of the ball as the it speeds up near the end when it should be slowing down as the momentum decreases. One success of the exercise is the first bounce of the ball, I think the squashing of the ball creates a nice bounciness that feels very real. If I were to repeat this exercise I would carry this squashing technique into the next bounce and perhaps the one after. I would also add more frames in nearing the end of the animation to slow the ball down.
