Stop Motion Animation of Falling

 When I was planning this shot, I marked off the path of action and where the pencil should be by placing an X on the the white backboard, and I roughly drew in the arc of the bounce based off my video reference. For the drop, I followed the Odd Rule. I shot numerous reference videos for the pencil until I found one where I thought the bounce looked interesting and fun to animate. It was a fun experience also really just observing how differently the pencil would move depending on the angle that it was dropped at. I learned that shooting without a tripod is incredibly hard, but the results even with a shaky camera (while imperfect) is kind of charming in my opinion.
