Here's one of the animated previews I'll be putting out for the project.

This was probably the hardest shot to work on so far, maybe the second hardest.  The lighting is really unconventional and there's just a ton of simulation going on.  Without the switch to Cycles this would have been a real horror show.  It's fun to take on challenges like this though.  Except for the simulation.  I hate simulation.

Aside from lighting wide shots, working with direct sunlight is one of a handful of set-ups I'm still not that comfortable with.  Using it head-on, instead of as a back light, is not recommended and especially difficult.  All that being said I still might circle back around to it later and make some tweaks.
