i'm still working in the "carrera espacial chilena"... now, "ladybugs in space" (actually, is ladybugs in the earth yet... but...).

well. eso.

Would you share some info on the catapult?

I think you have an interesting idea!

hi F.M.
you want info about how i made the catapult, don't you? (this is a real question... i don't understand well the english)

well. i made the catapult in wings3d. then export it to .obj in several pieces.
the handle was an independet object.
then i put all the pieces in a bone layer. i made two bones in front, to give the sensation of irregular ground when it moves.
i made another bone layer and i put inside the handle layer. then i put this bone layer inside the first bone layer.
in the second layer, i put a bone to move the handle (to do this, i first had to turn the handle 90º in z, because if i didn't made this, the bone would be useless).
wheel are moved in cycles.

to make the catapult come from behind the hill, i made a mask.
i also made this to put the ladybugs inside the basket.

i hope to be useful. excuse me for my badly english (is hard to explain something when you have no words).

eso.

That's great! I especially like the way the catapult slides a bit as it's coming to rest. Is it a 3d model? The animation of the girl is good too, though it might be good to do a bit more with her eyes. Thanks for sharing!
