Bouncing Ball flash Anonymous
I have to come up with a "humorous and creative" bouncing ball flash for the intro to flash section in my graphics class.
And my teacher has shot down all of my "humorous and creative" ideas, evidently art is quite subjective.

Anyone wanna give me a hand with some ideas?

Flash animator here.

Always run at >21 fps, I prefer 30 myself, when not making .GIFs and make everything as smooth as possible by using the onion skin tool. Also, if you really want to make a bouncing ball add some actual bounce and effect to it.

Here I'll whip one up. Do this

like this fucker said. only a retarded jew thinks he can pass a class by animating a circle that goes up and then comes back down.

it needs physics, dynamics, it needs to be god damned better than the lamest most obvious "lol ill make it jump up and down" idea.

or did you forget that going up and then down is not funny, NOR creative?

you want a fucking idea? make a god damned REAL working rubber ball sit there, have a dude come and sit on it, it eats him, as he struggles to get free the ball rolls down a flight of stairs for chaos to ensue. maybe the ball was at the top floor of a china shop.

jesus christ. this is why kids need to fucking draw and watch cartoons and crap as a kid, you cant come up with your own ideas if the concept has never even been introduced to your way of thinking.

No it needs to be something within his animation ability. Anything involving alot of drawing/breaking is (I'm guessing) beyond him. Better to have something short and simple than complex and ugly.

I suggest a simple loop of a man throwing a ball against a wall, and after a few throes it rebounds and hits him in the face.

Short, easy, no background needed. Make it a stick figure with funny facial expressions. If I get around to it tonight and this thread is still here I'll make some crappy example.

oh wow, that's older then the internets. ...10/10 for clever use of archival technologies.

Have your ball bounce into shot. Then it opens and another, smaller ball pops out. Out of this ball another, smaller ball pops out. Same thing happens again. Now, the big ball at the end eats all of it's offspring and poops out a hammer and sickle. The end.

There is no way to make bouncing balls funny unless it's in some sort of context or if the ball can do more than just bounce. What are OP's limits?

Also, add squash and stretch. The basic principle is that you never change the volume (in a 2D sense, the area), so if you scale it down by the Y axis (that's up and down) scale it up by the X axis (sideways). There's always the same amount of ball, but just shaped differently. Even if your animation is shit in a narrative way, you'll get points for actually animating it well

OP sucks cock at flash.
I made a flash game as my final project in a high school digital media class. I'm pretty much awesome at everything, though.

Do you go to MCST?
