Idea for climax scene

I was thinking while animating tonight that just as the rope gets cut we could have like a vingette of images to show what's happening rather than animate it out.  For example we could have a cut to Charlie shocked and then a cut to her in a running pose, hand outstretched with same look on her face, then another cut of her hand trying to grab the rope and then fade to black. Then fade in to her sitting on balcony with rope in her hand upset.

This is a cheat yes but it will cut the time of the film down as well as render time being single frames etc.

I have pretty much finished Scene 9 - just need to do some final refining of the animation and turn the clothesline into a dynamic to simulate it falling when cut.  Oh and decide on what would be the best resolution for the goo at the door.

I also did a test batch render today of 74 frames of teh camera truckin in to the balcony through the fog.  I haven't composited it yet... but did 3 render layers - Occlusion, software and mental ray, so will hopefully get around to that tomorrow.

Also tomorrow I want to:-

• Start animating Scene 8
  
• find a resolution for the music sprites and soft clothesline
  
• do flowers for scene 8
  
•  model flower pot and cockroache
  
• Titles
• Moon cutaway
