Anticipation exercises

                               

These two exercises worked very well. They look into the idea of anticipation. The second one with the two balls is interesting as the balls have a build up before they fire upwards. One of them is more exaggerated than the other, taking in other principles such as squash and stretch. The first one is a bit more complicated as it shows the ball building up to land in the container at the end. There is character to the ball and there is clearly a look of concern to the ball's movement as it decides whether to commit to the jump or not. The timing seems to work out well but the second video could do with a bit more as it seems unrealistic when it hits the top of the screen. It seems to hit the top quite abruptly which is an issue with spacing i think. Either way though these exercises are a chance to look into the principle of anticipation and build on my animation abilities.
