1 more tip that I hope my former team really takes to heart.

Get 1 scene done, and render!!!! If you can half of your scenes rendered by 5th week it can be really nice, and you'll get 20x the maount of work done when you overnight, instead of having to delegate time and computers for just rendering. This is easier to do now because the animations are not solely about the robot, so your progress is not based on the outlook of the robot. I recomend having at least 2 scenes rendered by the 4th week, and at least 60% by the 5th week. That way when you overnight, it will ber solid progress, instead of working for 54 hrs straight (yes straight) to finish our animation. (vishnu and nowak and shaler i loved u guys) Allthough working that long on animation .... is fun. I would try to avoid it.

It toook us about 49 hrs to render....and that doesn't include the scnes that we screwed up on.

happy rendering people
