Pendulum/Mechanical swing and Balloon fall - Stop motion animation

Mechanical Swing

Pendulum Swing

Balloon Fall

For our first stop motion task we were asked to animate a mechanical , pendulum swing and a balloon falling. These tasks allowed us to work on our understanding of timings and how different things move at different rates, for example a mechanical swing has a far shorter range of motion then that of a pendulum, and the spacing between each frame is regular, but a pendulum speeds up at the bottom of its arc. These principles would later be used ad building blocks and allow us to move onto more advanced motions.
