    As an owner of a living crab I can tell that's not how crabs move but I still love that animation. It's all very well made and pretty creative. Great job, you definitely deserve to be the winner

      recreating movement is really difficult because our brain absolutly is use to watch them with gravity effect
      so if an anymation isnt done with weight in mind its noticable right away
      look at cgi hero film its absolutly awefull xD
      the same we can say for fine movememt fine gesture that are really hard to do to
