This is a short stop motion animation of a 'ball' falling and bouncing a couple times. In order to create this, I used a kneaded eraser as a 'ball' and a couple pieces of paper as platforms. I used my DSLR and my tripod to shoot down on my setup so I didn't have to rig string for the ball. I did an initial pass of motion with only one platform and then added the others after I had mapped out a path of action on a large sheet of paper which drew the arcs of the bounces. I used it as an overlay of where the ball should fall through the entire sequence, and if I misplaced a frame I could easily place the paper over my workspace to reshoot. Overall, I shot the sequence 3 times after the initial test.
