shot 48....

It’s almost over.  Had the critique today and everything went smoothly. Seeing it almost finished, is great. When you are rendering for so many days, and you are looking at it one frame at a time it stops to feel like a film. It is such a slow process; you forget what it is all for, and so far I am happy with the final product. When you are looking at it for some many hours a day, you start to see flaws that are not even there. It’s crazy. It’s almost over and it’s going to be nice to step away from it and see it as a film. I have 4 more shots to go, just got done with one of the most troublesome shots to render. I had so many problems with it. Maya didn’t like shot 48, and wouldn’t even start to render it. It was just error after error. This went on until I deleted everything but Hugh and rebuilt the set. The lighting was a mess, just overall not a lot of fun. I got through it and now only have a few more to go; hopefully none of the remaining shots are like shot 48.
