Update on everything and yet nothing in particular...

... been a long and busy week but theres been a huge leap in progress and a massive drop in stress levels which is awesome.



Animation:
The majority of the animation work is completed and Ive been able to get some help from Scott MacDonald on some of the shots I was struggling to get ready on time.
Texturing:
The bedroom is very close to being completed just got a few things to finish up like the posters and stars and tweak a few things here and there. Matt Sutcliffe has helped an insanely huge amount with this and has got things looking awesome, needless to say I would be really upagainst it with out his help the last few weeks.
The Moon is very much WIP but ive finally got a good indication of what i want it to be like which has been a real block the last few weeks.
Lighting:
Is my new nemesis.
Audio:
FINALLY found a composer who sounds genuinely excited and interested in the project and had some amazing tracks that are being used as a start point, played a few over the film and it added so so much, really looking forward to getting the 1st edit which i think is gonna arrive on time for the first cut review.
Edit:
I also managed to playblast and arrange all of the sequences into the first edit of the latest version of the film and its improved hugely, the pacing is loads better and from the feedback i've had its working as a film at last! Another bonus is that in the way ive structured the projects through Maya, After Effects and Premiere providing I stick to correct file naming conventions and folder structure the edit should remain untouched for the most part and just update with higher quality visuals as the project comes to completion. Render times are becoming concerning along with my total lack of lighting knowledge but if i can have another couple of weeks like this one then i should get something out that im happy with.

All in all collaboration is good and I wish i'd asked for help sooner.
