LAUAN403 - Task 4 - Pose-to-Pose vs. Straight Ahead, Squash and Stretch, Easing and Arcs

In this study task we were instructed to create animations associated with stretching squashing and arcs and easing as well as pose-to-pose and straight ahead style animations. To do this, I created my own animation of a bouncing ball by using a line tester and Plasticine to create the footage of a ball bouncing.
