To create this small animation, I used the program Adobe Animate. I used this to position and edit the animation by, firstly, creating an archway using the pen tool to angle and draw the steepness or shallowness of the arches. Once I was done with this I decided to create another layer to hold the ball and its movements.
To create the ball, I used the sphere tool whilst shift-clicking to make the created object symmetrical. Afterwards, I began creating a large amount of key-frames holding copies of the sphere at different positions. When the ball would be expressed as falling fast I would distort the sphere into an elongated shape for a brief second to make the frames blend better together.
Also, whenever the ball hit the floor I would flatten the ball to emphasize the landing and launching of the ball.
The way I tracked the previous placements of the ball was by using the 'onion' feature which allowed me to see what came before that frame (in blue) and what came after (if it was there it would be shown in green).
(Animation I created can be seen below)
Over all I believe that I did well on this assignment because I think that the animation I made is rather smooth and flows well. However, if I could re-do this assignment I would make the animation slower by using more frames and I would make the ball roll towards the end of the page.
