Here is test footage of the multiplane shot in the first scene:
I think it works very well, but in my opinion the only flaw is the trees. Can someone draw a large tree that won't be ruined by resizing it?
This shot is also used in the final scene (non-animated).
Also, I haven't heard much status feedback from anyone. Can anyone give me progress updates? I'm anxious to find out how much animation has been completed.
