Andy has worn several different hats this week, taking over the lighting of the wide island shot from Manu as well as doing more work on the tornado shot and the grass sim for when Franck drags the branch. Plus he created a simple rig for Franck's timer. You'll find it all in this folder.

Manu spent most of his week on generating new low-res renders with the now-agreed-upon lighting set-up. In this folder you will also find stills showing the dramatic difference a change of lighting can make with before and after shots. Finally, Manu made one of his super-perfect models...this time of the Cosmos Laundromat Blu-ray case (for the store), including a rigging system!

In addition to her latest versions of the shots where Victor introduces himself, Franck sighing and turning around, the fucking hooves shot (a low-res render), and a new shot of Franck checking out his timer (which now turns), in this folder you'll find a PDF of all the animators' notes on the almost-completed shots as of Monday, May 18.

Here you'll find Lukas's cache-file comparison chart (to help him optimize cache sizes) and .blend files to test his new slicing feature.

Pablo continued working on applying the new lighting plus hair and grass sims to a bunch of shots. Click through the images and videos in this folder to see them.

Hjalti spent much of the week working on the sequence where Franck runs from the tornado, now up to and including getting sucked up into the storm. (Plus a funny bug he experienced along the way.) In addition to these shots, in the folder you'll also find new work on the shots of Franck pulling the branch and Victor walking away. These edits were the result of an animator's consistency and polishing workshop on Monday. See Sarah's folder for those notes.
