[Project Two] Stick Figures are NOT as fun as they seem

So I took video of myself going through the motions of bouncing a ball.  I did not have a ball around that was the size that I wanted but I did have an orange around, so the reference video still is not as accurate and realistic as I would have probably liked.  For the bouncing of the ball, I had to kind of test out where it looked like it should be.  Then I brought the movie into photoshop and had photoshop create a 3 frames for every second roughly and then I went through each frame, tracing the body (in stick figure form).  This "exercise" was meant to be a study-to pay attention especially to weight shifting and little movements that maybe I would not have noticed that I do if I had not had to trace 150 frames.  At the end of the day, this took plus seven hours of work, and I think I would have learned more from just reanimating the first project blind five times.  But I guess we will see the difference between project one and when I complete project three before I speak too soon!
