Bounce Collab

Bounce was a collaborative project between 20+ animators. Each artist created a 2-second loop based on the same bouncing ball template animation.

My submission of a rabbit trying to knock a vending machine carrot free was partially inspired by this post from Eoin Duffy.

In After Effects, the main jump animation is driven by a bouncing null from the template file. The bend in the body is path animation. The legs and tail are parented to the main null and have animation on their position and rotation. Finally, the ears use DUIK Bones parented together in a chain with animation on the rotation.

Make sure to watch until the end to see if the carrot drops.
