I really like this animation, I think I was challenged a bit by the timing of the bounce and that’s reflected in the first bounce. The squash and stretch was a really fun tool to use to emphasise the movement. I don’t see myself using it much with my work as I prefer to animate more humanoid characters in a less ‘cartoony’ way but a useful skill to learn nonetheless. The animation definitely improves as the video goes on. Maya is completely new to me and I would say that I’m picking it up quite well despite it being a tough piece of software to learn. I would say that I prefer TVPaint as it feels a lot more similar to my usual program: Photoshop.
