Its the end of March as we know it (and I need time)...

As the title says, here we are at the end of March and boy do I wish it was the end of February. I am starting to feel like I have a grip on things, but only so far as now I can start really working on animation. I've done lighting and finished texturing, so aside from a few potential problems with the render (I'm keeping my fingers crossed), I can pretty much solely animate for the next couple weeks. That gives me about a day a shot to really go over it, spline and smooth everything out. In talking to everyone else, it seems most people are aiming to start rendering on the 18th--that gives me a good 17 days or so (minus a couple for the last two days at Jarnac, so 15)--i.e. exactly one day per shot including weekends. Though I'm hoping my rendering doesn't take very long (3 days ideally--1 per pass [galaxy, animation, ambient occlusion]) who knows what geometry won't show up in the render or what texture/lighting problems there will be...or even worse, animation problems I didn't see in playblasting. So a full week will give me some wiggle room hopefully to go back and rework sections if need be and re-render.
