We use a basic “animate along path” method and add some flavour to it!
First of all, we set up the scene. Draw a line and add a round shape.
Then we use the "create nulls from paths" script which automatically adds a new null object.
We link the ball to the new null, adjust position and anchor point and adjust the speed curve.

Then we extend the line to the left and right and animate the position of the extended path and move it exactly 1920 pixels to the left.
If you've been precise, the beginning and end of the animation should look exactly the same.

In the next steps, we add more elements and end up with an awesome piece of animation;-)
