Materials Needed for Animation

Hi, this is Cable on behalf of Expert Village. In order to make a simple bouncing ball animation, you need a few material and tools. First at which is a good light source, we are going to be tracing through severals sheets of paper so you can even improvise and use a window. But what we are using here is a specialized animation light box. This has a special peg bar at the bottom so that you can line up some pre-punched animation paper. Now you can create your own light box of assortment of dowels and any kind of papers. Even simple cards would do. But however special animation paper and animation boxes are sold on line relatively assessable. The light box is about 100 box and the paper is about $15 for about 500 sheets. For this example we would need at least 30 or 50 sheets of paper. You would need some pencils; any hardness it does not really matter for this, a sharpener to keep the pencils consistently sharp. A rubber eraser, a fine line pigment marker, and some sort of template. It is sort of challenge to make perfect circles one after another. For this example, I'm just going to use a small glass but you can use a circular device that you want.
