Maya 3D Chess Set Animation

I've decided to update my 3D skills in preparation for getting stuck into some Flash Papervision work. My first project on the 6-month Maya course at Qantm is to create a chess set using only basic primitive shapes. It looks a bit surreal, but probably makes more sense after reading the brief below:

"Your first project is to create a chess set. One side is made using only spheres while the other side is made using only cubes. One side should appear light/floating/zero gravity while the other side should appear heavy/solid/weighed down. The pieces can be abstract/minimal but it should be clear what each piece is. The project is designed to practice your organisational skills (grouping,naming using layers) and also to develop your imaginative skills."
