i. animatic update

current problems include, but are not limited to:

  1. in the process of moving everything from step to spline, there are for sure some spots i missed so far
  2. something is going on with my facial rig that i can't quite figure out...the controls only jump between the extremes of the blendshapes and wont key in-betweens, and the shape editor wont work for the face because of the driven keys and controls, I guess. I'm working on figuring this out so my facial animation can happen.
  3. fish rigging and tree are coming once they stop crashing maya
  4. have to move that trash can...do i need to have an obvious source point for the rock or can it just be chilling on the sidewalk?

ii. render tests

Render test for shot 1. Render times coming in at 40-50 seconds per frame.
