I was finally introduced to Adobe Flash. We had to take screenshots of our progress
But first we all watched a couple of videos: including a low budget film 'The Giant Claw', a short video explaining animation and a clip from The Box Trolls.
We were given a task on animating a 2D bouncing ball (see two examples below), I did this by creating a series of key frames and used the 'Onion Skin' tool to ghost the previous images/frames onto the current one. I think I did reduce the number of frames per second of the animation played at from 24 to 10. I had an issue with the colours, but then counteract it by letting the ball stay the same colour after the first bounce.
I then realized I need to add a second bounce, so I did. In the second animated GIF, I to elongate the ball on impact the second and when it takes off to make it more cartoony.
Not sure how i missed this at the time, but it's a really nice little animation, well done.
