That's what I am. When I don't know how to walk, I run. When I can't jump, I fly. And fall... fall a lot. I hope it will motivate me to be better at the normal pixels too. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-203953.png) I think it will be the best if I just show every frame. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212644.png) Tried to apply all the rules from the course I mentioned some time ago. First, the start and the end of the movement should be slower than the middle. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212651.png) Also, things should squish and change during the movement. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212654.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212658.png) We, as humans, are used to seeing afterimages of fast-moving objects, so we should add them to the animation too. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212703.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212707.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212715.png) We went all this distance in 2 frames... and I used to make every pixel one frame and wondered why my animations were looking weird. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212719.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212723.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212727.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212731.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212735.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212738.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212742.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212746.png) I don't know what to say... ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212749.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212754.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212758.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212801.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212804.png) This part is the little "wiggle" part. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212808.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-04-21-212811.png) At the end, I want to say that the animation was made from keyframe after keyframe. I made the start, hitting the wall, hitting the ground, and starting to come back, and then filled them using the rules. It's just a simple ball, so many rules are still not in use. Like, I have to think about making every single element move and lag behind. Next time I will try to make something with more elements. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/image-3.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/image-4.png) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/04/image-5.png) Mandatory boxes. I try to make at least 5 a day. That's all. My way might be stupid, but it's mine. It's not like this project was ever insanely optimal. See you next time.
