In order to improve my understanding of timing and spacing a little bit more, I decided to do another ball bounce test. This time, I tried to put a little more emphesis on the acceleration and deceleration of the ball falling, bouncing, and hitting the wall. There are still a few issues I need to address but for what its worth, here is the shot:
hey bud this coming along sweetly. i think between zero and 60 it needs to have some frames taken out….looks as if the ball is oozing down instead of rolling…also frames 70-73 spacing could be tighter with a couple frames added inbetween for a nice slow out to the drop of the ball. good job man
pray for my surgery and my right hand this could be my career!
where did u get the cool frame counter?…i would like to add it to my flipbook tests as well.

oh i injured myself in basketball and cracked my radius head in my wrist.
Hey Avner. I have been definitely keeping up with your recent work from flipbook and it looks great. I must ask you how you got your ball to keep such a perfect shape while looking like it was rolling?? great job. I agree with elliot about the ball looking like it was oozing down, but I wouldn’t take out too many frames considering you want to give it the appearance of a slow build up of speed. Great work so far! I have also adopted Jason Ryan’s workflow and it is amazing. I actually just got a 12″ Cintiqe in today and did my first ball bounce on it, maybe you can check it out and give me some critiques. Again great job with all your stuff!
Hey Avner, I guess my remarks are in the same category as those above. Although I’m not sure that “oozing” is the same word I would use (interesting word all the same), but the beginning seems a little off to me as well because the spacing between drawings is a little inconsistent from 1 to 69. The ball appears to accelerate and then hesitate slightly before continuing. I would also add one more drawing between 137 and 140 to make the slow-in just a touch more subtle.
Nice choice regarding the exercise. Simple, yet layers concerns of prior exercises into a new context. Keep going.
