Animating in Maya: Bouncing balls

In our induction to maya we also animated two bouncing balls, one which was a solid ball and the other which was a soft ball. This was to get us to use one of the 12 principles on animation which was Squash and Stretch. The concept of the animation was simple to follow, but the actual animating was very difficult to figure out, because you have to think about the easing out/in of the balls and the timing of the when the balls hit the ground and when the ball squashes.  

It was hard to animated but I'm pleased with the outcome of how the ball bounce looked. The one thing I would change about the animation would be slowing down the speed of how fast they fall and bounce.
