Reflective Writing:

     Creating a bouncing girl animation using Adobe Animate was an engaging project that taught me valuable skills in character animation. One of the main challenges I faced was achieving a realistic and dynamic bouncing motion. To overcome this, I experimented with different techniques such as using squash and stretch, adjusting timing and easing, and frame-by-frame. Through this project, I learned the importance of attention to detail and the ability to bring life and personality to animated characters.

Skills Acquired:

1. Understanding of Squash and Stretch: I learned how to apply the squash and stretch principle to depict realistic motion.

2. Frame-by-Frame Animation: I developed skills in creating frame-by-frame animations, which are crucial for detailed and complex movements.

3. Timing and Easing: I acquired proficiency in controlling the timing and easing of the bouncing motion. I learned how to adjust the speed and acceleration of the character's movements to create a sense of weight and impact.

4. Use of Adobe Animate Tools: I gained proficiency in using Adobe Animate's tools, such as the Bone tool for creating articulated structures.
