Here is my final video and the three still images. 

Simple Model

In an attempt to solve the problems below I have simplified my model. Although I would have liked to have seen my idea completed,the size and number of pieces I was trying to animate were just too large for this to work well. However I am happy with the simple nature of my new model and feel that this allows the eye to absorb the details and size better than before. 

Current look

This is how my model currently looks. It my or may not change but here is an update anyway.

Drawn on Screen Shots

Here I have drawn over some screen shots of my 3D models to find ways that I could make the models more interesting and better fit the design principles that hey represent.
