Animating Stop-Motion Soccer

Bringing desktop soccer to life in stop-motion! #teamnike I improvised most of this animation with @nike kids by letting the soccer ball freely move around as it was being kicked - very little planning. I did my best to stay nimble and adapt my creativity (a lot like sports) to the changing animation.
