How do u get the clay to jump through the air? (or seem to jump through the air?)

[EverythingStuffSeven]

@CariadCarys I used a rig to bring the ball up into the air, then i edited the rig out using gimp. This is called masking, and im sure there are many tutorials about it

to make the clay float, did you get a clear plastic string? For the motion makes your brain go werrrd, so that you don't notice the string.

@MChannel67 I used a simple armature wire and made some sort of rig. It didn't work well as it was very unstable :/ I should probably make a legit rig of some kind later...
