In the tutorial video series below we show how to tackle the entry-level "Bouncing Ball" exercise. Above is a collection of some of the best "Bouncing Ball" exercises completed by Animation Apprentices over the years. Our course at Animation Apprentice, like almost every course in animation, starts with the bouncing ball, as students learn to apply the principles of timing, spacing, paths of action and weight - four of the Twelve Principles of Animation. Even a simple exercise can be entertaining and interesting with a bit of imagination.
