Tick Tock – time-lapse

This cool animation of the famous swinging "Tick Tock" is the result of an exercise to learn how to use After Effects.
I wanted to make you feel the passage of time by making a kind of time-lapse on a sphere that is similar to the Sun and the Moon. To make this notion of time understandable, I made a palette of gradients that fade in one after the other.
I hope you like it !
