This was the fourth exercise that I did for the After Effect. This exercise was challenging for me because I need to use the arc and curve function in the AE to create the track for the ball. I think it will be easier if I can use the hand-drawn animation, because I will have more control on how the ball might go, but overall this was still a valuable and important experience.

Strengths: I think what I did well was at the end of this exercise I was finally able to get some feeling of a heavy ball, and I am able to use the function in After Effect to create this effect.

Weakness: I think the weakness of this exercise is that I didn’t do a good job with the motion of the ball, I think it looked a little unnatural, probably because I wasn’t familiar with AE, which made it a little difficult for me to operate, and that’s one of the reasons why I couldn’t adjust it successfully.
