Stop Motion Animation Test - The Ball Throw

The aim of this exercise was to practice the principles of anticipation, action and follow through. To do this, I had my puppet imitate a ball through. I acted out the actions myself, drew stick figure diagrams to work out the movements, and tried out the action a few times. My first test went badly because I couldn't properly capture the momentum, which ended up looking very strange.

The next time I recreated the ball throw, I acted out the motions myself and created a more convincing throw.
