Bouncing ball surprise!

     
This is my ball surprise animation. We made a ball bounce to a side of the screen and had a little surprise at the end. Many people decided to make the ball explode, disappear, or bounce offscreen, but i decided to make a dog take the ball. This animation was like the previous ball bouncing animation, but with the ball bouncing sideways. I added more frames and understood squish and stretch. I didn't add shine to the ball because my time was limited and i was more focused on the dog.

What I learned was how to make the ball animation run more smoothly and what it is like to add more frames to an animation. I also learned why time is important when animating and why you always want to fix mistakes before it gets worse and ruins your project. This almost happened to me but I was able to save everything before it was deleted.

 Next time I will add shine for sure, make sure color is correct before I export the project, and make the dog animation run more smoothly. When I was animating, the color was darker so I thought the dogs nose, eyes, and paws were black. When I exported the product and the brightness turned up, it was actually dark green and i wasn't able to go back in and change it.  I will have make sure that doesn't happen in the future.

Ten Words

In Ecomm, we made our first mini animation. In this animation, we had to use 10 words we thought best described ourselves. We used Photoshop to animate these words and make them move onto the screen. The 10 words used are Adventurer, Artistic, Brave, Creative, Daring, Funny, Happy, Kind, Outgoing, and Strong. Each of these words I chose to use for a reason. 

I used adventurer because I like to explore and discover. Traveling to unknown places is lots of fun for me. 

I chose artistic because I love art. Drawing is my favorite thing to do, but I can't color or paint things. 

I chose brave because in most situations I am not afraid to step down from danger to protect others or do what is right. 

Creative kind of goes with artistic when it comes to drawing because I draw whatever I imagine. I also think of cool ways to design things even if I am not drawing.
I am daring because I love to take risks.
I am outgoing because I work hard no matter what and will pick myself up if I fall.
I am kind to everyone no matter who they are .
I am funny and love to make others laugh and have a good time.
I am strong both physically and mentally in lots of situations.
And just like strong, I am always happy in most situations and like to keep a smile on my face.
