Finishing the film looks much more likely all of a sudden

Met new Animation Director, Martyn, this afternoon, to talk through some of the visual ideas. Thought it'd be at least a week before he could show us anything but he emailed through his first style tests at midnight. And they're brilliant. So cinematic. We are all very excited and can suddenly imagine how the whole future element is going to look.

Maybe this animation lark won't be as hard as everyone has been making out...
