Leave yourself at least a full week to do the rendering. Last year, we put together an animation, started it rendering and then found out it would finish 3-4 days after the deadline. This is especially important if your computer isn't state-of-the-art. For example, if you look through ChiefDelphi, you'll run accros a scene from a field that the creator said took 4 minutes to render. That scene is fairly simple (bridge, tubs, field, etc). At four minutes/frame with 30fps and and 30s animation, it would take almost 2.5 days just to render a full animation!
