Trouble with transform-origin in animation

Let's see if I can explain this.

I am trying to get an element to rotate 75deg along the x axis, then move upward along the z-axis, and then do a full rotation around the x axis. However, it looks like the transform-origin does not follow the element when it is moved along the z axis, so the full rotation is animated along the starting origin. I have tried moving the origin within the animation using "transform-origin: 50% 50% 100px;" but that ends up moving the element along with the origin. Here's a link to it: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/pCDuz. I have run out of ideas so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I figured it out. Had to put the element inside another div and use two separate keyframe animations. (http://codepen.io/joshalling/pen/LguDe) Thanks to anyone who tried to help.
