2D Waterballoon Bounce

This week we have been exploring the twelve principles of animation, working with squash and stretch particularly. To learn about this, we were tasked with animating a waterballoon bouncing across the screen in TVPaint.

We also looked into using different fairings to increase and decrease the movement speed (as seen in the screenshot above), giving it a slow-in / slow-out effect to make it appear more natural.

Once I was happy with the basic flow of my animation in 2s, I inbetweened the frames to bring it to 1s, before inking and colouring the final sequence.
