Whether you choose Filmmaking or Digital Arts for year two, you should have a go at the different topics.

You will create a bouncing ball, the ball will need squash and stretch
You will need to draw the key frames of the ball first. If the animation is 3 seconds, at 25 frames a second, draw the first middle and last frame first. Then the inbetweens. Then check the timing and do more inbetweens until you've got a drawing at least every other frame.
Using Animate
File>New
'Standard' size (640x480), FRAME RATE 25fps > Create
Your canvas should now open. You have Layer 1 created automatically.
Double click on where it says Layer 1 and rename it Ground.
Use the straight line tool to draw a ground.
In the Timeline the first frame should now have a black dot to show it's a keyframe. It only lasts one frame - a fraction of a second. Extend it by clicking on F5 (or Insert>Timeline>Frame) to last three seconds (75 frames).
Create a new Layer (PLUS symbol in Timeline). Draw a guide line using the brush for your ball. Rename it 'guide'.
LOCK these two layers.
Create a new Layer. Call it 'ball'.
Draw frame 1 of your ball - at the start of its bounce. Draw frame 35 - the ball hits the ground. Draw frame 70 - the last frame. Consider why the ball will look like how it will. Consider gravity and how squashy your ball is.
Draw the inbetweens.
Check timing.
Draw more inbetweens.
Until you're happy.
Sounds makes things look better!

Bounce... and break... a teapot!
Bounce a head... up and down... make the eyes blink when it hits the ground...

Are you interested
in learning 3D Animation? Are you interested in learning Maya? Are you

What is Autodesk
Maya?
Autodesk Maya,
which is commonly known as MAYA software is 3D computer graphic software. It is
used to create realistic 3D models, 3D applications, animated movies, TV
serials, technical-non-technical commercials, 3D video games, visual effects
and many other effects.
Before the use of
advanced tools like Autodesk Maya, traditional ways of animation i.e 2D
animation was used. But in today’s media, most of the film/TV, game and
animation industry uses Autodesk Maya to deliver high quality 3D Animations.
These days Autodesk
Maya is actively used in the film industry, video gaming industry, real estate,
automobile industry and many other industries to produce realistic 3D as well
as visual effects.

is used?
So to recap…
Autodesk Maya is a
creative 3D software used by animators across the world. It is the professional
animator’s favourite software as it can do multiple activities. Maya can be
