Object Animation + Reflection

Initially I had set up a mock skatepark using objects like a bowl, paper towel roll, and box of staples. However, after shooting my photos, I realized that the head-on angle didn't do much justice, as you couldn't see the skateboard doing tricks within the bowl.

I then turned to my computer which had a plethora of things such as cables, a small shelf, and graphics card I could use. However, I feel like this would read a lot better if the camera didn't shift. I kept bumping my tripod since I was working under my desk (wasn't much space to move around). I think the movements turned out well, I'm especially proud of the flip near the end. Could use some more frames though in some spots, such as the board appearing and disappearing.

I also struggled with color quite a bit; while the computer is white, some parts such as the motherboard and cables are black, so it seems like the skateboard disappears in some areas. I wanted to mess with contrast to see if the pink areas, like the wheels, help it stick out, but it didn't seem to do much.
