Yeah, it’s the idea of trying to have only one thing happening at a time because otherwise your eyes don’t know where to focus.

I assume that means having more time between 'arm stops moving' and 'paddle appears on screen'?

Thanks, i see how it might be a little cluttered, when everything is happening in such a short time frame.

Solid animation, a great start. Be careful with staging though as the movement of the arms follow through distracts from the the paddle and makes the animation hard to read.

My first ever attempt at animation. my take on the bouncing ball. it is a bit short, but i spent quite some time on it(mostly on the arm though).
