Update 18/9/20
Added 2020-09-18 15:24:25 +0000 UTCAnother quick update!
I started replacing the shitty scenes I showed off last week and have now got about 50s of animation queued up for rendering. The first block has about 5s of good footage but the previous 5s was waaaay too fast so I've slowed it down and will be rerendering.
I'm pushing on getting the actual animation done as quick as possible because I've got some other urgent work pushed my way. The plan is I can't work and animate at the same time, but I can work and have it rendering in the background, so I've been pushing that instead of rendering. The other reason is that I'm having to break renders into smaller blocks. Before, I could keep it running for as many days as it took to render. Now, I'm having to drive to work daily so I've only got an 8 hour window where I'm not driving or working.
It makes things trickier, but I'm managing.
Fingers crossed, I've got a tentative plan to have the first part out by the end of the month. I've got most of the key bits done, a stack of rendering to do, the mid-finale to do and I think there's a chunk earlier on going from one pose to another which I skipped at the time because it was really difficult.
By next week I should have a better idea of where it stands and if I'll make the end of the month. I don't feel great about how long this one is taking, but with all the external factors, reshoots and so on, it's really given me a right kicking.
Thanks for your patience!
