Bouncing Coin

After finishing my Rhubarb Festival animations, I realised that it was time for me a bit more about animation. I’m enjoying reading The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams but thought that I’d understand it better if I tried some of the animations that he suggests for myself. This bouncing ball animation took just minutes to film but it took a while for me to find the most effective way to convert the sequence of images into an animation. After trying the timeline in Photoshop and in Adobe Animate, I eventually settled for importing as an image sequence into Premiere Pro.

My studio setup was a precariously balanced iPad and my subject was a 1797 twopenny piece on the studio floor. Appropriately Richard Williams’ hefty Survival Kit provides the necessary gravitas.
