playblasting and big edits

Once I'd reached the stage in a sequence where I felt all the animation was complete I learnt that running a playblast of it was very important similar to that of checking your work with the render queue in after effects. I found just playing it back wasn't good enough and that it was easy to miss some mistakes in the motion where as playblasts show all the proper timing without dropping any frames.
Once James and I had animated all the sequences I got us both to make playblasts of all the animations. I then put them together in premiere according to the animatic. This would give us an idea of how they all ran together and the smooth playback of it all showed us a lot of errors that needed fixing.

This was an incredibly useful exercise the main thing it showed us that we would have not noticed otherwise was bad transitions between shots. 

Problems we discovered were some movement issues with the spider in scene 17 and the grass needed to be fixed as there was only a temporary fix at this point. The scenery boundaries were very obvious and needed to be extended, the apple needed to fall faster, the transition between 3rd and 1st person needed to be edited. There were some issues of camera transitions between a few scenes as well. We will both fix the errors and come back to the problem.
