11second club February final entry

Hi there, I've finally managed to finish my February animation. A bit challenging but fun as well. I've learned a couple of new tricks, so I really hope I'll use them on my future works.

11 seconds club old animation

I haven't submitted anything since my last participation in september. I was working on the october contest, finished it but couldn't render it in time.
Here is how it looked like.

Unless you want to animate a mechanical gadget EVERYTHING in your animation which is moving should describe arc like trajectories if you want to get a natural and organic feel. That was my advice of the day, here is a quick link talking about those animation principles that are really important for every animator
