Process & Production: Adobe Flash & Photoshop - Creating Simple Animation

To familarise us with using Photoshop and Flash as animating tools, we were asked to create a simple animation featuring a bouncing ball and pendulum.

Having never used Flash before, I was keen to give it a go as I was considering using it as my software for this project. 
For some reason I didn't quite get the hand of it!
The pendulum swings far too fast and the ball bounces really slow! I have no idea why this happened by it was a only a quick task so I decided to keep them to document.

I did like the look of Flash from my brief time using it though! I thought the tween frames would be really useful to use one you got the hang of using them. 
I will definitely be keen to learn Flash in the future, I think it gives a really nice animation effect from what I've seen of it. 



But for this project I decided to use Photoshop as I was far more comfortable using it (contrary to the glitching pendulum).
