And here are the eight rendered frames -- the first four match the four in the message above. Note that the smoke appears, coallesces into a single piece, then disappates as it disappears into the flies over the stage floor. All told, the sequence was 75 frames long and, as I said earlier, took almost two days to render. What complicated everything was the staggering number of lights used in some of the sequences: in this section, there are perhaps 20-25, all in motion. During one long shot of the stage as it transforms from a Baroque toy theatre into a high-tech rock concert platform, there are almost 50.
