For this lab, we used Pencil to do our animation, as it features a timeline that allows us to draw different frames of the animations.
Ball Bouncing
First, we drew out the path of the ball that it will be travelling.
The red circle in the picture above are the extremes/poses of our animation. They are not part of the path. We started drawing the ball by creating key frames for the extremes. This results in making it look like the ball teleported from the top to the bottom and bottom to top and etc, but at least it is finally showing movement!
To avoid making it look like it is teleporting, we have to draw frames in between the keyframes.
Now the ball is finally look like it is moving along the path. What is left to do was to adjust the spacing of the ball between frames, and correct the timing between frames, so that the ball is falling and bouncing at the correct speed.
Weed Swaying
Drawing the weed was same as drawing the ball bouncing, except that this time we have to take into consideration the fact that different parts of the weed moves differently, and changes direction at different time from other parts. So the bottom part of the weed may be starting to sway to the left, but the top part is still moving to the right. Therefore, we have to take note of the different speed of different parts and draw accordingly.
