In the time of remote learning, we are deprived of in-person instruction but also in-person community. In this animation, I wanted to re-emulate the community and spirit of college outings with the bouncing path of a good old-fashioned game of Beer Pong. I created the background in Procreate, and imported it into Adobe Animate.
When I had showed some of my peers, I received mixed feedback. While people generally admired the level of detail–especially the splash as the ball enters into the cup, a number of my peers commented that the ball moved too slowly to be a ping pong ball. Following this feedback, I made numerous more versions of the animation as I increasingly sped up the movement of the ping pong ball.
