All good news here today.
I am feeling great with my new workspace. I have set up my display with shortcuts for efficiency. One thing I'm really proud of, I set up a mechanical wheel on my display to scrub back and forth through animation cels (amongst other things). It might seem small but I love it.
I have now put together a WIP composition of the whole animation. Coming in at under 2 minutes, it's a little shorter than FS1 but it's still a hell of a lot of work.
What's that? Can you watch it? No it's top secret.
Well not that secret... would anyone actually wanna watch a WIP animatic/composition thingy?
