Study Task 8 - Squash and Stretch

Animation 1

I wanted to create a ball that wasn't naturally a ball, but was held together with magic or some other force. The vertical motion of the ball was effective, losing energy as it bounced, but the squash and stretch didn't emphasise the liquid 'feel' of the ball. I could've had it ripple slightly.

Final:

I animated the lateral bounce with perspective, to experiment with speed of approach and increase in bounce frequency. The perspective worked well, but I feel I didn't put in enough bounces.
