Stop Motion Animation of Falling

To make this, I at first tried to make it actual fall with a series of put together instruments and tape to try nd keep it in the air, but I failed. I didn't have the proper equipment at hand to do the animation that way when I thought i did. So instead I went for the one the floor way. Off to the side out of camera view, there is tape measuring out the falling distance pattern. I lined up the roller hockey puck with the first mark and then took the picture. After I moved it to the next one and the next one. I tried to add a bit of a bounce to a stop at the end. I will say though because of how i had to get the camera to fit the whole shot, it does look like the puck is stopping on an invisible floor.

I was unable to upload the video with the tracks because every time I tried to export the video, Tracker stops responding and will not come back.
