This is the scene I am currently working on, a 71 second clip
http://www.buckosoft.com/tteoac/video/testRenders/ttvo-480p.mp4

The holstered flashlight is perfect. No matter how much I screw up 
Camera and Lookat, it does its job. ;)

I think the banking while riding on the Moray may be a bit much.

Clearly, I have issues with the y axis; ascending and descending is a bitch.

I don't get the jitter on the head of the Moray, when the kid is riding 
on the ocean floor. I have no idea where that is coming from.

My monthly update on my current scene.
There's a good ride on the moray. I give up on the vertical chatter in 
the Moray's head. I'm leaving it in as "artist's choice". ;)

The submarine attacks the moray, but he doesn't return fire yet.

I think it's interesting, as we descend to the ocean floor, the 
flashlight flails about a little bit -- but the light stays perfectly 
focused where it's supposed to. It almost looks like the light is faked.

Yes and it stopped just as it was getting interesting.

Just a little, I think.

I didn't notice.

It doesn't look bad though. Maybe swimming over rough ground.

That was an older version's issue.  I needed to add sky <> to my camera 
calcs.  The flashlight doesn't know about sky <> which is why it is not 
totally locked into the corner there.

Oh good. I wondered if I was talking myself into "it doesn't look bad".

:-)
It adds a bit of variety to the movement.
But I know what you mean. After a while you lose all judgement.

I wasn't going to say anything yet, but in honor of Elon launching a car 
into orbit today, I'll be launching a train. (Through the Liftoff of...)
http://www.buckosoft.com/tteoac/video/testRenders/ttlo208.png

Even though I'm still working on the ocean, I started staging this 
because I'm concerned about the timing. I have a big musical cue coming 
up (7 beat hold). I want something dramatic for that. Originally, I was 
thinking the initial moment of 0g would be cool, but I'm nowhere near 
that.  Now I'm thinking it's going to be the ride up the elevator before 
launch.

But I'm almost out of time, meaning, that musical cue will never move 
and I'm getting closer to it.  It's a long run from the fishtank back 
out to the "yard". It fits, but I'm not real happy about it. I have 
another minute's worth of ideas for the underwater scene that I scrapped 
because I don't have time.

I think I'm about done with this scene.  New bits at the 30 second mark.

http://www.buckosoft.com/tteoac/video/testRenders/ttvo-480p.mp4

This is a picture of "forester", a program I wrote to plant the trees 
(red) and build the parade (blue). The big blue spline is the Moray's 
path through the scene.  Darker red dots have an earlier birth time.
http://www.buckosoft.com/tteoac/g/forester.png

The database for forester is the povray file it generates itself.
