Bouncing Ball

22" Narrative

Laughing Mouse - In betweening Exercise

I have added more tiny bounces at the end of the motion to make it more realistic. But adding a back roll on top of this didn't enhance realism, instead it brought the ball back to life! This leaves the audience curious.

First Third of 30 Sec Narrative

Here, I have animated the main action of picking up a heavy item and stepping in a puddle. Next I am going to add in pauses as Ron suggested, to convey a more realistic reaction to lifting a heavy item. I will do this by timing the movement of hanging my arms in the way I intend to make my character hang his arms (in reaction to lifting). The movement will follow immediately after the frame where the character drops the heavy item. This might pose the problem of linking the altered action to the following frames of the animation.
