Squash and Stretch

We experimented with squash and stretch by animating a ball bouncing. The ball was made of a rectangular foam pod, which was placed on its smaller face when the ball was circular, and placed on its side when in the squashed position. I then made a flipbook involving a character subjected to squash and stretch, based off a digital practice.

What Went Well
  • Better easy-ease spacing in travelling bounce
  • Didn't need to change the shape of the real-life object
Improvements
  • Ball didn't stretch before hitting ground in first bounce
  • Second travelling arc is peaky and poor framing
  • Ball in first bounce is misplaced in frames
Coming week
  • Use squash and stretch to enhance action/expression
