Stop Motion Animation of Falling

Trying to figure out what to do was probably the hardest part beside trying to figure out what to use in the stop motion animation.  Once I figured out what I was going to use in the animation, I quickly sketched out a rough plan of how I wanted to stage my stop motion and how I was going to move the object.  Moving the little mochi ball was a bit of a pain since I used a vertical setting rather than a horizontal and I also didn't have an assistant which I regret  later on.  It was a bit tough having to position the mochi then having to run to the camera to shoot.  But what made it a bit easier I think was the markers. I used tape on the ground plane and on the wall for the jump and falling arcs that my subject was going to use as a reference point.
