Ethan Dean - Ball Bounce - First Pass

  1. Awesome.
    The basketball looks really good. Don't you think it looks better now??? It's hard to judge with out the ability to look at it frame by frame, but there might be something weird going on in the 5th bounce or so... like it comes down too fast or something. Otherwise you can pretty much call it good. Oh! one more thing, have it roll a little longer, it kind of stops for no reason.

    The bowling ball looks beautiful. If you're going for a bowling ball though, I would completely take out the squash and stretch. Another thing, it is translating across screen and then suddenly slows down a little bit unnaturally. I would either tone down the translation in the beginning, or keep it translating more in the end.
    Ping Pong bounces might be happening a little too fast. They might also be losing a lot of energy quickly? I'll talk to you in person about that one.
    Sweet dude, you started the ball with character already. It's a great idea! The first critique is a staging issue. It took me a few times watching it to understand that as the guy goes to kick it, it jumps out of the way and he misses and falls. What I would do is have the guy anticipate the kick a little more to set up the gag. Place the ball in front of his silhouette so that it's a clearer read. When he goes down to kick it, have the ball also do a quick anticipation as it jumps out of the way. It could be real quick. I'm assuming you're still in early blocking stages right? I'll talk to you more about this next time I see you.
    overall great work dude
