Script, Boards, and Reference for Basic Animation

For my stop motion project I would like to keep things very simple. I will simple try to create the best ball bounce that I can. I would like to try and shoot this on the ground to avoid dealing with string which can be finicky or painting out my hand which will be time consuming. This seems like a boring choice but I think I value my execution over my ambition. If time allows I will perhaps animate around the ball drop but I wan to get the assignment done first as that is my priority. I will try and create a "floor" for the ball to bounce off of. For my software I will most likely use StopMo Studio as it will work in tandem with my phone which should make shooting easy and painless.
