Week 4 down. This week we learned about good and bad timing. Its really cool that by just moving a few frames up or down the timeline you can really change the feeling of the animaiton. A heavy ball bouncing has totally different timing than a light ball.

Lets see, we also learned a bunch of definitions as well. Things like "velocity," momentum," and such. They want us all to speak the same language so we can better communicate our ideas to each other. It felt like I was reviewing for a physics class.

For the assignment, we were supposed to do an animation of two bouncing balls of different weights. Sounds pretty bland since we just did a bouncing ball animation last week, but surprisingly, it was a lot of fun! There was quite a spectrum of animations that the other students turned in. Some were pretty tame, and some were really ambitious. Overall, everyone did pretty well.

Doh! Its late! I'm off to bed. Here are my assignments for this session:
