Over the past three days I’ve spent an obscene amount of time working on that seven second clip, and it still has tons of little issues that need to be addressed, such as the shrinking/disappearing field in the background, the lack of sound, the missing foreground, the slow unbeziered path of the first missile…  I’ve loaded the scene up with so many cloned cornstalks that the software has become rather uncooperative.  Fortunately this little exercise has taught me tons, and more importantly helped me develop a more intuitive sensitivity to the software.  I know how to avoid the problems I’ve encountered in this preliminary, practice version of scene 2.6.4 - all these solutions are the result of a lack of foresight in planning, including the software-burdening amount of cloned corn.  I will eventually redo this scene from scratch, but in the meantime it’s a testimony to my determination.
