Falling Block Test

I wanted to make a tall, thin-ish block of wood fall of the edge of a shelf to knock into the trowel-coat hanger mobile to make it spin round a little, but I wasn't sure how the wood should fall to make it look realistic. To find out I tipped a book off the edge of my desk several times to get a feel for the timing and the movement, which is how I discovered the book/wood should spin/flip on its way down due to its unbalanced weight. When animating the block I started it falling a little slowly as it was losing its balance, then faster once it had cleared the edge of the shelf and had nothing blocking its path anymore. I rotated the block at certain points and key framed them to see how they would spin. At first it didn't look right because it didn't fall fast enough due to me trying to add more rotations, so I cut out some key frame which made it flip less but fall faster. I think this makes it look more natural and like it has weight. Overall I'm pleased with how this test turned out, and I plan to use it in my final animation.
