You can tell I love this class because I bitch about it all the time...
OMFG I am finally done with my computer animation project. There are a million things I should could would change if I had the time--some more glaring than others--but I have something. Rendering turned into a nightmare when I realized that the shadows were doing things I didn't like after I finished (the character goes off screen to get a stool, but when I rendered it, I realized that its shadow didn't go entirely off screen, which completely broke the illusion if you noticed it). And some things that I swear I fixed, apparently I didn't save? And the lighting on the last shot turned out far more funky than I was expecting. So I tried to fix all of that, only I somehow fucked up the lights in weird ways, and didn't notice until I'd almost finished rendering my fixes. So then I had to re-do that, and from there everything descended into a mess of "oh, shit, I hadn't noticed that somehow I changed the color of his foot" and "oh look, I forgot to change the camara, so now I have 200 beautifully rendered .tif files of ... the apples not moving."
But now I am done, and I don't even care if I forgot to fix something important.
On a related note: The nice thing about pulling a proper all-nighter is that, if I'm still up by 7:30, I actually get to eat breakfast. It's pretty exciting.
