This is my animation, pretty simple but I think it turned out well. I animated the kite body to scale back as it moved, then added a little random rotation and bending of the corners to make it a little more life-like. Then I parented the tails to the body and stuck the pins in them so I could twist them around a bit. At first I tried to animate the tails before sticking them to the kite, which worked, but it looked weird because they were moving independently of the kite, so I ended up reanimating them once they were attached. The clouds were done in a couple different levels at different speeds to make the sky look a little deeper.

Super cool. Really, top notch work, Ryan.
