I'm Havin' A Ball

So we have to animate some balls bouncin' all over the place, small ones, fat ones, some as big as yer head..... sorry. Doesn't sound too exciting and the reason for that is because it isn't but it's a good way to get our heads around some of the old principles of animation such as timing, spacing and squash and stretch.

Heres my first attempt with just the key frames and a few in-betweens  

Thought this was lookin' alright so i added in the rest of the frames, i had done another test before the final one but it was obviously so crap it erased itself off my memory stick. 

Heres the latest, shot in singles with all the frames.

I really like this one, i think it hangs in the air maybe a bit too long on the last bounce but it still looks good, lets call it artistic license.
