Bouncing Balls

Another exercise from my Fundamentals of Animation course. This exercise was to practice in the graph editor in Maya's software. Each ball was to represent a different weight of a ball. In my clip I went with a lacrosse ball and a soccer ball. Plus, for bonus points I added in a see-saw. One effect used on these balls is squash and stretch, this is one of the 12 principles of animation. When the ball hits the ground or another object, the force of it's impact will make the ball look as though it gets squished, when animated this way the bounces look more believable.
