Yes, indeed. Timing can make or break 2D, 3D animation, comedy, plays, and other forms of entertainment.
It's good to come to the party with a concept, too. We had a phrase in advertising called "Dancing Bologna (baloney)" and it connotes stuff that gets your attention, but has no real substance. Sizzle without the steak, in other words.
A bouncing ball was a good tutorial example, because it's "creatively neutral." It's not entertainment per se, but the cartoon physics of squash and stretch are used all the time in cartoons.
And it shouldn't go without saying that Xara artwork (Xartwork?) is highly compatible with just about every other graphics product on the market.
My Best,
Gary
