Finally done.

Doing audio for all of these was rough, it really didn't give me much of a chance to break while the animation was rendering.  I underestimated how much that would take out of me.

The Eevee motion blur kind of messed up some of my details with this one.  It's a textbook example of something I would just tweak and re-render but obviously the time is too constraining here.  Aside from that, everything went relatively smoothly so it was a nice way to end the challenge.

This year I realized just how much more sophisticated my workflow has gotten.  My pre-render checklist alone just takes so much more time.  There are so many things to keep track of in a 24-hour time-frame.  Plus since everything takes longer to put together, there's less time for re-renders, which means there's more pressure on getting everything right on the first try, which means everything takes longer to put together, etc.

All things considered though... a formidable yet relatively smooth animation challenge.
