I figured out what to do with the loop de loop animation. The word for February is Tumble. I made a character in my sketchbook that I'm going to end up using. Its a fat cat. I want him to swat at a fish, causing him to roll foreword and back into sitting position. Heres some drawings of him.
I want this cat to have some really good secondary motion, so I have to make sure I animate it properly. I mocked up a short storyboard for it. Since it's only 10 seconds long I don't really need to animate much, but what I do animate I have to animate it as well as possible.
Over the course of the past two weeks I've completed my Loop De Loop animation. I used Photoshop to separately draw the cat, the fish toy, and the background, and then I put all of it together onto an After Effects file. Then I exported it to Premiere Pro, and used Adobe Audition to put together a basic sound file for the animation. At first I used a recording of Mel Brooks doing a yelling cat impression, but after a few people told me it was too jarring I opted to use a thumping sound as the cat tumbles foreword.
Heres the video:
