  Arrow following a ball like in an instructional video

  Posted by Chase on May 11, 2006 at 10:15 pm

  I’ve seen it a bunch (in all sport related shows) a arrow draw on and follow the ball. I’m trying to do something for a golf show (instructional) where the arrow follows the arc of the ball and follows the ball as it bounces (small arcs). The arcs are wider in the air and thin when they touch the ground. My first thought was to create each arrow in Illustrator and mask it. But this looks bad and I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this. Would this be easier to do with a motion path and 3d stroke or particular? It seems so simple but it’s driving me crazy.

  Any suggestions or anyone know what program or plug in they use to do this.

  Thanks!!!
