Write about anything practically that you really liked/felt improved about your second attempt.
I personally feel like I improved my understanding on tweening and how I could tween objects to
move them, additionally ive learnt other tools to assist me in organisation and moving certain
sections in my animation.

Write about anything creative that you really liked/felt improved about your second attempt.
In terms of creativity I feel like my ive dumbed down and simplified on detail and looks to create a
more cartoon and simplified look. This allowed me to improve in this style of animation which I
feel like I have.
