Assignment 1/27/16
Animate your own version of a bouncing ball. Don't follow a video tutorial, just see if you can do it on your own.
Don't forget the principles of animation:
1. Squash and stretch
2. Timing
3. Slow in/slow out
4. Arcs
I strongly recommend that you plan out the position of the ball in each frame on one sheet of paper first. See example.
