My first ever blender animation Work In Progress

My very first animation - I created everything from scratch with my bare hands, tenacity and training from the CGCookie online course. Within a few days I went from baby hands unable to even move things around in blender to making this entire new animation & art. I am super happy that I'm adding new tech skills that will be used in XR and 360 film projects. I learned how to use blender, navigate blender, more than 15 hotkey shortcuts, how to integrate many primitive meshes to form new objects (rocket, land, environment, craters, rocks...), how to create & add new basic materials, shaders and particle systems, how to create a new animation based on real world reference / physics, how to render images & video and how to share what I create while I learn. Woo hoo! This CGCookie online learning is really fun :)
