Personal Work
This lil animated loop is my contribution to the Bounce Collab 2022 organized by Sengsavane Chounramany, in which a total of 20 incredible creatives around the globe took part in, including motion designers such as Ben Mariott, Jake Bartlett, Andrew Marston, and more.
The aims of the collaborations were to celebrate our passion for motion, bringing us back to one of the first things we learned on our motion design journey — how to animate a bouncing ball, and of course, to have fun together in the process!
The full piece is a fun watch, so if you haven't yet, check it out!
Process
Each collaborator was given a simple bouncing ball animation to match the timing of. We then had the freedom to change that ball into anything we wanted, as long as it remained bouncing and stuck to the timing.
I decided to turn my ball into a fluffy cloud-like creature with a tiny adventurer catching a ride on top of it. Here's a look at the initial design and some of the roughs. The animation was created from start to finish on Photoshop.
