12 Principles of Animation in the Ball Animation:
Squash and Stretch: as the ball is bouncing it compresses on the ground and stretches in the air
Anticipation: the ball follows a natural arc with no unusual jumps or changes
Staging: the ball follows the rules of thirds with most of its path
straight ahead: the animation was edited in a straight ahead fashion
Follow Through: The ball begins off the screen and ends off the screen
Slow In/Out: the ball follows the patterns of gravity while bouncing
Arc. The ball bounces in an arc
Secondary Action: N/A
Timing: The ball bounces faster while falling and slower at moments of equal force
Exaggeration: The ball when compressed becomes unrealistically small 
Solid Drawing: The ball follows a shaped pattern with no large size differences between frames
Appeal: the ball is blue
