Practice Animation Series (Need feedback to improve)
To really get into Animation, I need to practice a lot. I had been working on a small animated short which obviously wasn't turning out great due to my lack of practice (I have already made 4 animations before - can be found on the channel below). I decided to discontinue it and build my skills before doing anything like… -

Then try animating different weights, a bowling ball, a ping pong ball, etc. Make sure you animate them in the same scene next to each other.

Hey, thanks for the feedback ;) Alright I will go back to basics, I acknowledge my animations aren't working out and I am ready to do anything that can help it. Also, I have already taken the book and went through it once ^_^ Oh, also, what should I do after the bouncing ball? Harris -
Re: Practice Animation Series (Need feedback to improve)
Is there a particular style that you're going for? I ask because a lot of these are missing some fundamental principles like timing and weight shifts. Did you start from a bouncing ball? -
