Finally we get to my school assignments. In my History of Animation Techniques class, we had to animate a bouncing ball that "told a story", so I opted to tell the story of the bunny boy who forgot to catch the ball in Looney Tunes style slapstick. Watching it back months later I can definitely see some issues, but I'm still really happy with how this turned out.
The final result of the bouncing ball animation! Poor guy got the three-hit combo...
It started as an extraordinarily rough "animatic". The goal was solely to see if the concept worked at all.
Then came the roughs without worrying too much about secondary animation or the actual ball. I wanted to get the motions down.
The roughs are then updated with secondary animation via the ears and the ball. Additionally, timing is fiddled around with a bit more.
