This post is a little overdue as quite a bit has happened. After a conversation with my tutor Byron I came to realise my idea for my animation was more or less a collection of things that looked cool but lacked coherence. Although I was looking into the visual side of things I was neglecting proper narrative. The resulting changes to my concept are the 'cog teeth' that extend from the orb no longer grow out of it but instead are internal blocks resting in a shaft like a button. Also the core of the object will now be an electromagnet of some description. This will allow the pieces to float around the core with a better explanation than "its futuristic and looks cool".
I also had the idea of using a kind of orange sunset backdrop because the light reflection would look gorgeous but it didn't make sense for the orb to be there. Now it will be mounted atop a spire that extends below view, giving the orb the role of some kind of beacon or weather device and allowing to exist in the context of its environment.
I have quite a bit of remodelling to do now unfortunately before I can start animating so I can sense some late nights on the horizon.
I decided to do some sound effect research in the meantime for either background noise, primary sound effects or a soundtrack and this is what I've found so far:

Intense. Between these I could mix and match to make the animation sound legitimate. I couldn't find any decent length electrical arcing noises for the core but I suppose I could cut and paste.
