    The document provides instructions for an animation assignment demonstrating the differences in weight, mass, and behavior of 3 balls - a balloon, rubber ball, and cannon ball - by having them fall and interact within a room over no more than 200 frames while applying principles of physics such as gravity, friction, and Newton's laws of motion without changing the ball models or using additional props. Key points include planning the animation, studying reference material, and using camera framing and the spacing and posing of objects to clearly show their distinct properties.

    Conveying the basic properties of an object.


    Tutorial: Bouncing Ball Interaction

    Objectives:
    To demonstrate, differences in weight, mass and behaviour of objects using timing(spacing) and posing.

    Goal:
    Using the given 3 balls, give each one a distinct property listed below.
    -A balloon
    -A rubber ball
    -A cannon ball(heavy metal ball)
    Animation should show the three balls falling from top, interacting with walls and each other. Frame the camera
    so it looks like this is happening in a room.

    Some important pointers:


    • Thumbnail and plan your animation before starting out on the execution.
    • Use actual reference from real objects or footage to get a clear idea of these required physical
    properties.
    • Newton's laws of Motion-
    When a force acts on an object, the
    object accelerates in the direction in which the force is acting. A force acting on a moving object will
    speed it up, slow it down, or change the direction in which it is moving.
    • An object in motion will remain in motion unless another external force acts on it.
    • Every action has an equivalent and opposite reaction.

    • Study of gravity and friction as factors affecting the objects movements.


    • The amount of kinetic energy, the energy of movement, depends on the amount of matter and speed of
    the moving object.
    • Volume being constant, the shape of the objects changes as the result of collision and repulsion, i.e.,
    object stretches based on its elasticity
    when a force acts on it and on the other hand squashes when the force stops.
    • An object moving through space will move in an arc if there are forces acting on it from more than one
    direction.
    • Ex:A thrown ball has two forces acting on it from two directions..gravity in the vertical axis and the initial
    velocity it gained from the throw acting
    on it in the horizontal direction. The gradual reduction of both these forces on the object results in an
    arc like movement over time.

    Assignment requirements:
    • The camera should be stationary so as to avoid its affecting the perception of motion of the objects.
    • Length of the animation should not exceed 200 frames. Try and plan your animation so as to fit within
    this frame range.
    • Avoid making modeling changes to suggest property of ball.
    • Use appropriate framing and staging to allow clear visibility of the motion.
    • Animator cannot use additional props.
