Yup, the ‘evil’ shot came back.
The animation and camera movement in this shot is restricted by the background. Which is stitched together. And therefor has some holes and open edges. But since the creature is at full speed it goes off screen for a few frames when it is about to turn. Unfortunately the director was so pleased with the animation that he wanted to see it on screen for the full length. So the background had to be extended to move the camera a little more to the left to follow the creature all the way. This  altered the geometry slightly… so I not only had to change the camera movement but also the animation.

I think this shot number will be engraved in my tombstone…

I submitted it yesterday. Let’s hope it doesn’t come back.

At the beginning of the week I did another shot and submitted that also. And guess what: … Changes!
