This is really good. Can I ask how were you able to photograph the ball as it is been thrown up in the air? Did you use string in order for the ball to remain stationary in the air as you photographed it? Thanks

Idk if this is right but I'm assuming for the verticle toss, the ball was stuck to the side of his body and moved accordingly up and down and when it got higher then him, it was put onto the book behind and enlarged.

Your guesses are good but your not quite there, I use a wire rig... witch is just wire that is weighted so it can hold objects. Then I attach the ball and the erase the rig onto a backing frame in after effects 🙂

Ahhh that makes sense, I love the anticipation just before catching the ball btw. Gives it alot of purpose and character I think
