Maya- Ball with Tail (Overlapping Animation)

This week we developed on the ball animation going through the obstacle course but this time working with overlapping animation, on a tail connected to the ball.

I found it quite difficult to animate the tail after just getting used to animating the ball, the hardest part was definitely understanding the movement of the tail as a reaction to the primary movement of the ball bouncing through the course.

This was my first attempt:

I really struggled with this one but I'll work on it!
