🎬 The Bouncing Ball: Animation’s Most Underrated TeacherIf you’re learning animation, you’ve probably heard it: “Start with the bouncing ball.” It sounds simple. Maybe too simple. But here’s why every animator should master it.The bouncing ball teaches you EVERYTHING:✓ Timing & Spacing – How to create the illusion of weight and physics✓ Ease In/Out – Making motion feel natural, not robotic and even✓ Arcs – The curved paths that make movement flow✓ Anticipation & Follow-Through – The subtle details that bring life to every action✓ Squash & Stretch – Adding retention to volume, appeal, and personality to any motionWhat makes it so powerful? Constraints breed creativity. With just one object and one action, you learn to communicate emotion, weight, and intention through pure movement.Follow for more animation insights. 🎨#Animation #AnimationTips #Learning #Animator by @zrahman_anim

My small contribution of a very big win ✨ KPop Demon Hunters won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars this weekend — history made. Grats to the crew who made it all happen. 🏆This is a sequence I was more involved in. I had a few shots from here but I lost the references so this section will have to do. I also animated the shot before with like...30+ characters on the screen. It took me three weeks to keyframe all of them as we didn't have a populated library of crowds to steal from. This was also me in my mullet and beard era. Mistakes were made.#animation #kpopdemonhunters #bts by @zrahman_anim

Obligatory fuzzy unfocused ID pic. 5 shots approved and polished on Brad Bird’s movie “Ray Gunn”. Working with Michal Makarewicz is pretty awesome as I’ve taken his master classes for the last 10 years. Full circle! Anywho, back to animatin’~ by @zrahman_anim

Signed the "A" today! After finishing a film, you get to put your name on this thing. When I joined the company during the pandemic I wasn't able to sign it, but that all changed today. It used to say ANIMATION outside the building, but after it was changed to Roy E. Disney Animation Building, they took the A and it now sits in the animation department. Tons of legends got to sign this thing over the years. Feels unreal to be apart of Disney history. Look at all these talented folk!#animation #waltdisneyanimationstudios #animator #goals #career #3danimation by @zrahman_anim
