Adobe Animate: Bouncing ball exercise
SUGGESTED RESOURCES
- “Complete 12 Principles of Animation Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston as described by Alan Becker” – Video illustrating each of the 12 principles of animation

ASSIGNMNENT
In Animate, create a motion study of a bouncing ball that incorporates squash and stretch and at least two of the other principles we’ve covered today (anticipation, spacing, timing and exaggeration).
This is not the same as the in-class bouncing ball assignment: You must create an environment for the ball (i.e: a room/landscape), and have the ball bounce against various objects (or creatures).
The settings for your .fla document should be:
- Width: 1920px | Height: 1080px
- 24 fps (frames per second)
Submit your .fla and .mov file on Blackboard before next week’s class.
The grading rubric for this assignment can be found here.
