Animating with Maya part two

So this time I animated a pendulum!
The problem I ran into straight away was how to change the anchor point. Back in the keep up trucking workshop we were showed how to group objects together so they move together not as single items, but once i grouped my pendulum together all I needed to do was put the anchor point on the top so it would swing. Once I figured out how to that (which was very easy apparently) everything else was a piece of cake. I also learned how to fiddle with the render options like lighting and camera angles so that was super useful.
Heres the end result-
