Stomping test render

This is a little test render of Jim's stomping animation so far. The animation here is still in progress and you'll notice that Monster Kid steps through one of the toy soldiers. The soldiers won't be in this shot..they would of been flicked at Monster Mum beforehand. The scene is also missing the tree and the matte painting background, both of which should make the scene more lively.

Nevertheless the look of the film has improved a lot lately. We've decided to scrap the idea of using several passes, instead opting for a Final Gather, plasticine look. This will hopefully save us lots of time and many a headache.

This render of 140 frames took 10 minutes per frame at college and 3 minutes per frame on my home computer! This is by far the heaviest scene we have in the film, with both characters and a mega polygon tree. The sooner we render this scene out the better!
