This project we animated a basketball to bounce and move around, and it was actually really useful for me to help learn After Effects a little more. I knew the basics of both animation and After Effects, and this project helped me get a little more in depth with both. Squashing and stretching, as well as motion blur are what make the ball bounce, and I wanted it to look cartoonish, because it's animation. I added the portals as a nice little touch, and even those had some issues with masking and matte layers.

Ummm, it's been couple of months, and I'm really happy that school is back in session, but I still have zero to show for it, and it's kinda killing me. I've been on and off with working on it, spending a couple of days in a row trying to finish it, then dropping the project. But, good news, I'm almost done! just have one more lightsaber shot to do and then once the sound mixing is done I can reap what I've sowed. This project is super intense and lightsabers are a lot more work than I thought it was gonna be. I'm glad I worked on it though, and it's definitely helped me scale my expectations. Wish me luck.
