The 2 changes that didn't make it to the final version were making the cactus fall of the end of the carpet rather than the room, and using the rope to swipe in the text. I felt these didn't add anything to the animation as the cactus change would mess up timings and look unnatural, while the lope doesn't naturally swing far enough to swipe the text in a way that fits the timing of the voice-over. Below is the final 30 second clip I will be submitting:

Post Crit Changes
After considering all the points raised by my class and tutors, I made the following changes to my animation. The bass frequency in the soundtrack was reduced slightly for the duration of the first part of the voice-over, after asking a few people they felt the voice conflicted less with the music and was clearer and easier to hear as a result. At the point where the cactus is knocked by the chair, I moved the keyframes at the point of contact further back in time to even out the speed that the two move at, in relation to each other. After trying the globe tracking in front of the rails it rolls down, I decided that it looked much better that way as it gives the impression that the globe is coming towards the viewer, creating a slightly more dynamic look. The biggest changes were made to the very end scene. I upped the brightness of the cables supporting the picture by 35% because they looked to prominent and didn't sit well in the overall colour scheme. The motion of the cable was completely altered to swing more naturally and knock against a small peg to make it look less like it just stops in mid air.
