Study Task 5 - Arcs

A wrecking ball swinging without obstruction/collision. It was particularly difficult to anchor the wrecking ball and cable on the crane arm using only a photoshop video layer and so it wobbles slightly but the ball remains in the arc. The fact that the ball is a bit too symmetrical and uniform is slightly unnerving to the eye.

A gif showing my rough poses and more importantly the arcs used. I liked how the animation looped along the y-axis so that's it's clear and comprehensible. At first, the swing wasn't working , I realized that the movement along the arc had to be faster than usual at first to account for the speed gained from free-falling.
