What I created
I have created 3 animations, a pengelum, a ball and a lamp. The pengelum starts to swing high but loses momentum over time so it is realistic. The ball uses squash and stretch and this makes the ball look more or less bouncy depending on mow you animate it. I went for a boucier look so I made it squish more when it contacted the floor. THe lamp uses anticipation before jumping into the air and this lets the viewer know whats about to happen. Personally, I think the lamp turned out the best and looks the cleanest out of the 3 and was the easiest to animate.
Problems I encounted
One of the biggest problems I encountered was getting the timing right and the bounciness of the ball. I had to use trial and error to get the right keyframes which took a while to get done. I also found the timing when the ball hits the floor difficult as using squash and stretch made the angle and the bounciness of the ball harder to get looking as smooth as possible.
