Space Ball is a pencil test animation
for Classical Animation 100. Project was to model a ball in motion,
for which I modelled a ball being ejected from a space capsule, landing
on a cratered planetoid, bouncing crazily as the space capsule orbits
overhead, and then bouncing spontaneously towards the space capsule,
generating a huge explosion. The ball survives, and flies towards
the viewer, while the space capsule is kaput. |
