Here is a short clip i finished today. It took me about a half hour of work total. It is based off my Flash Demo 1 sketch. Although there are no moving parts, i taught it was necessary to play around with the rolling ball physics and squash and stretch. I made the piece as i went, i didn't know how it was going to look at the end. This goes against the advise of my mentors, who suggest breaking down my animation into smaller peices but i was anxious play around with my idea. The cup that the ball landed in was actually supposed to be a cup with a joint which allows it to tip over. Considering how much time this would take i made it stationary for this example. I realize how unrealistically my ball seems to hover and float in the air after launching off the ramp. The balls trajectory seems off. When the ball lands in the cup it bounces around a couple of times and stops abruptly. I deffinely lost motivation towards the end of the clip, explaining the messy finish. With some more practice and patience, i will get this right.
