The bouncing ball with obstacle was a great first project which started getting me used to flash and excited for animation class. The obstacle I chose was the factory from the album cover of Pink Floyd's "Animals", and for the bouncing ball, I struggled at first with the size changing throughout the animation, but took on the challenge and found some solutions to work through it.
The weight project was a lot of fun; I have grown to especially enjoy working with the Adobe Animate program! For this project I chose to have a scene with Star Wars characters C3P0 and R2-D2; C3P0 has to lift R2. I began with a ruff outline before I drew the character of C3P0: Some of the challenges included animating the character's knees to show weight and making sure the weight of the object stays constant the whole time. Frame by frame got a bit challenging here, especially when it came to consistency in the volumes. It was also a bit of a challenge not having the rotoscope to trace; that was a help with volume control since I was tracing real actors, but this time I had to really keep track of the onion skinning tool and make sure they stayed consistent. Using reference footage was fun, too! It was a great project and I definitely feel a lot more comfortable with Adobe Animate.
