I am very happy with the bounce that is incorporated into the two balls. They move very differently which conveys weight and is an interesting study into the way gravity and movement work with different weighted objects. The timing in this video could be a little bit better on the heavier ball as it is somewhat jittery in places. The lighter ball though moves nicely and rebounds as it impacts, much more than the heavier ball. Little things such as how far the balls get when they reach the bottom also add to the realism of the weight and movement. I tried to use the rotation tool in conjunction with the bounces so that it looks right when the balls roll from each step to the next.
The heavier ball was much harder than the light one to manipulate with the graph editor. This could have been due to the various little movements that I added to the ball in order to make it appear as though it is harder for it to move. Overall though, this exercise, which was optional, helped me to practice the Slide In and Slide out principle as well as give me practice with manipulation of the tangents in the graph editor.
