I'd be surprised if redoing a render is more expensive than setting up a set 
(altho with the "data wrangling" going on, I imagine getting things out of 
order in the pipeline could be ugly), getting the puppets into place, and 
re-shooting an entire scene. But yeah, manually editting a dozen frames? 
Makes sense.

Cool. I'd seen them talk about how they make the models and all, but I 
hadn't seen that they actually use them directly rather than reproducing 
them on a computer.
