FINAL....RENDERED...VID

Finally finished.... now I can sleep.......... ^_^

Well, quite pleased with the way it came out. I now love Maya lots more than when I started the projects since I now understand quite a bit more about it.
Although '1' second shorter.............. than what the set time was supposed to be, I do think that enough flicking, knocking, turning, and bouncing has been going on to show some animation principles. I really enjoyed making this, both the models and the animation part of it. It gave me a quick taste of how different animating in 3D is to 2D and also Stop-mo. For me it's mainly the use of key frames that made me like animating in Maya so much, and ofcourse having the models all made and ready as apposed to 2D where I have to draw each object over again for each frame....

.... haha, not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much if I had to do that even though I do love 2D! :]
