Bounce Project Review (Professional)

Overall, the scope of this project was to grasp basic skills from animation, and more specifically, Adobe After Effects. At the start of the the project, he created layers to work off of in Photoshop. After he completed those layers, he imported the Photoshop file into Adobe After Effects. The creator attempted to use the graphic design principle of rhythm and movement to run the animation more smoothly. He told the story of a ball bouncing through a field, and moving off the screen simply by making the ball do exactly that. One element of this work that was very interesting was the color scheme of the project. I could apply this into my own work by choosing more vibrant colors overall. One element of this work that I already knew was how to create a background for the project as well as the other props created on Photoshop for this project. The creator had a very well designed pathway for the ball to bounce along. This work could be improved by timing the bounces more smoothly so that the ball could look more natural while bouncing. Overall, this work was solid for a fresh start at After Effects. Although there were some small, issues the project was all around constructive.
