Next, gain insight into the technique for animating the second arc of the bouncing ball and learn how the ball should look or be stretched after impact on the ground and during its peak.

Then you will be taught how to draw the basketball and paste it into different frames as well as how to rotate the program view to stretch the ball. You will also learn how to extend the exposure of the horizon and path of action to the end of the timeline. A great starting point for beginner animators, this project helps demonstrate time, spacing, squash, stretch and art.īeginning with setting up the project in the program, you will be guided through the steps to follow when creating a new file or scene. The course is built around the ‘Bouncing Ball’ animation project, which consists of a simple basketball (circle) bouncing in and out of the frame. You will be taught to use Toon Boom Harmony, a program that allows animators to create art and 2-D animated designs. Are you interested in exploring the field of animation? Looking for a good place to start? This course introduces you to the fundamentals of animation using a hands-on, demonstrative approach.
