Maya 3D animation

Here is my final animation!

O Sorry, that was my rendering test, Here is my final animation! 

Okay, so I am happy with my animation, however I do believe it could have come out better. The main problem I have with it, and what I have been told from feedback. Is that the brightness burns out most of the detail on the objects. This apply specifically to the domines falling, because of the transparency you can not see them falling as you should. I like the cartoonie radiant look of it however, the lack of shadows (basically none) is not what I wanted. 


So the main mistake I made in this animation was in rendering. I rendered my animation in metal ray however, I failed to check the rendering settings which would have allowed me to  lower the brightness. This mistake also caused my animation to take a longer and because rendering had taken such a long time I did not have time to render it again.
