I've worked on this for a few hours today... The animation is still rough, and the camera is sorta Blocked out.. maybe room for further adjustments... I added some phony trees and a render of where the castle will be for visual blocking purposes. Still lots of work to do on this scene.. but.. So far, I'm liking it!

I changed the Camera movement because Patrick said it looked like his "gradient"
How interesting. Music changes the mood dramatically. uh-oh..

Last camera/character animation test for the night.. these test renders are wonderful! I watch them over and over which help me spot errors so I can go back a change them.
