How should we go about slimming down the file size? Even if the animation is only 30 seconds, 50 MB for an HD video is a pretty tight restriction, so I'm sure other animation teams must have a few tricks up their sleeves. If you would, please, care to spare a newbie animator a tip or two?
I'm not on the animation team, however the animator on my team said his .avi file was 5 GB's, then after compressing it it became 50 MB or so. Try compressing it.
