Saw Barry Purves for a lecture today, was very good, then a tutorial with my tutor. There is still some problems with the moth which I will tackle over the next few days. I am off to Manchester Saturday but hopefully I should be able to get all the elm sequences wrapped by Monday. I have fallen about two weeks behind, which is ok with the buffer I have at the end of the animation schedule, but I am worried that I am slipping way to much, so I may do a few all nighters over the next few weeks to really get the schedule back together.

After I have redone the moth and elm animations I need to look back at the render schedule, and get those sequences rendered. My last render schedule I failed to stick to when having to re work those moth sequences and I could just leave it till the end and render then, but it means I wont have any finished sequences rendered by the April hand in and just preview renders.

Also during the tutorial the music was again looked into. I initially was very happy with the music I recently choose, but my tutors suggested taking another look for the more trumpet old coronation street factory music and place in a nice factory whistle for the beginning. In the end I found a piece that reminds me of inception or social network, while still having the factory feel with the trumpets. It soo suits the feel of the piece more than the music I had chosen and am really happy. I am going to leave uploading a new sequence until the moth animation is complete. But the music can be found here
