Disney Design Principles:

​1. Exaggeration

  • ​Ball stretches and squashes to show surprised emotions. 

2. Timing

  • The second ball is omitted from the scene at the beginning to avoid competing with the first ball.

  • Avoided having drastic motions on both balls at the same time.

3. Staging

  • Switched between camera angles to capture the desired motion at the center.

To do:

​1. Change to more interesting environment

2. Add camera motions

3. Maybe add audio
