Slow out and Slow in & Secondary Movement from Ryan Mowery on Vimeo.
A short animation attempting to achieve three things.
1. Use slow in and slow out moving techniques.
Basically, adding more frames at the beginning and end of the motion, and having fewer frames in the middle. This gives the movement a more realistic look.
2. Have secondary movement.
This is basically having things move, in addition to the main action. For this animation, the balls keep rolling, even after they are no longer the focus of the shot.
3. Use HDR lighting.
This is all done using light probes. A very easy technique.
I have to say the HDR lighting is the only thing i feel very accomplished with here
the animation techniques are based off of some disney animators 12 principles of animation.
