During the 1st lab lesson for Week 10, the class is told to animate a bouncing ball using 'Pencil'.
I created 2 videos for the bouncing ball exercise:
The 1st video is the bouncing ball using bitmap layers while the 2nd one is using vector layers.
Reflection
I am using the software 'Pencil' for the first time and had a rough time using it. The software does not let you draw basic shapes such as a circle using a template and that is why the ball in the videos do not look circular and the motion of the ball is not smooth. It also auto-deletes a circle if you draw one with the starting point too close to the ending point especially when using vector layers and this has caused me plenty of frustrations. After finishing the animations, I had problems exporting it as a video. However, I found an alternate solution to solve the problem.

The blog is about the software 'Pencil' and it offers the solution to export the animation file as a video. However, I only downloaded this software which is found on the blog to help solve the issue I faced: http://camstudio.org/
