MC 17: Ball bouncing

I took part in the 17th mini challenge. This time round, the goal was to drop a ball off a platform, have it bounce off a wall and then come to a settle. The rest was really up to you. This was my entry

Bloop Shot 2

Don't know what came over me today but I finally got the inspiration to do another Bloop shot really fast. May be am slowly getting better cause I did the whole thing in under 90 minutes which is new for me. Well, here it is. onto the final shot; Shot 1.

Bloop Sequence-WIP

About 2 weeks ago, I started a sequence of 4 shots that was supposed to improve my animation principles. However, due to one reason or another, I haven't finished it yet. I've taken the 3rd and 4th shot pretty far and i should be starting the 2nd today. (Ya, am working backwards.)
Anyway, I will be uploading the shots and finishing this sequence this week. Procrastination's the thief of time of time as wiser guys always say.
Here's shots 3 and 4:

Blogspot again

welcome to my new blog. Not really my first animation blog but after a bit of research, I figured I might get a little more interaction out of blogspot than my other blog. As for the title, It just came to me as I made the blog. I thought, "arnie-mation." It's right there! I can't believe someone hasn't used this before. Anyway, my second year at the university just kicked off so work's starting to pile up. I'll continue to animate and look for help on the forums as I post my work here as a journal.
At the 11 second club, I just got done with mini challenge 16: Slam Dunk. I was a little way out of the box and am happy with that. However, I feel like I could have a lot more body mechanics out of a ninja. Maybe added a flip before the dunk or something. I learnt from this exercise that while keeping it simple is important, if you make something too simple, it becomes boring. Here it is. and it's lunch time so see ya..
