Stop-Motion Animation of Falling

Below is a stop-motion animation of a ball bounce cycle created by Corey Tom. 





This animation was created using a Logitech Webcam connected to a PC running SAM Animation. The ball was placed at various positions on the floor; Corey says that it was helpful to plan out the positions by making marks on the floor, just off-camera. There are only a handful of separate images; the sequence is repeated 10 times for 10 bounces. 


This ball bounce cycle is very simple so you're encouraged to create something more interesting; you'll be graded on both the believability of the physical motion and on the creativity of your work. For inspiration, watch any of the episodes of Wallace and Gromit, for example:
