Animating: bouncing balls comparrison

2D animation

I found animating in photoshop the easier of the two as I have had experience with 2d animation prior to this course, however this was my first time properly animating in photoshop; it took a while to get to grips with the features and so forth, but I did enjoy using photoshop for animating.

Th onion skin feature in particular was possibly the most useful feature on photoshop, as I had only really animated traditionally or alternate forms of animation: cameraless film, sand, white boar etc. Didn't take an excessive amount of time to animate, I will strongly consider animating in photoshop.

Maya

Again my first time animating in Maya, I had only previously used Maya to add textures to buildings. It took a while to get to grips how to et it going, I'm sure with more practice I'd manage to animate with more ease; but animating by keyframes did feel much easier to do as opposed to drawing every frame.
out of the two I do prefer animating in 2D, as I know if anything goes wrong I can pinpoint what the cause is much easier, however better quality movement is easier to acheive in Maya.
I want to give animating in Maya another go, but for the final admission piece I would like to do 2D, I would love to get better grasp of animating different movements, in differing styles.
