Greetings people of Earth. I am doing this blog to keep a record of my new life, not only as a homosapien, but as an animation student as well. I am not entirely sure what the blog is for, but it was an assignment from our Leader for all of us on this new mission. What that mission is, exactly, is still rather unknown to me. But bear with me on this journey of self exploration and expression and I am sure we will all come to appreciate this mission.

My first assignment on this mission: Make a ball bounce.

Which I did. Rather to my satisfaction, if I do say so myself! Now whether it will be to the Leader's satisfaction is at this junction, unknown. But here is the link to the video anyway:

This is my ball without any computer effects. It was just basically hand drawn, then a picture of each and every of the 52 pages photographed and uploaded to the computer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_0G7wJD4Ck

Now here is the same ball with a few tweaks. For instance, I sped it up, because balls dont bounce that slow, and added a color effect to grade in and then out. I also added sound effects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X2XRAUWm1E 

We were also to fiddle around with a program called garageband.It was really cool. You can kinda compose your own songs and sound effects. I will upload the song for you to hear.

Let me know what you think.
