Q: did you pick a short script in order to have more time to work on the more complex animations such as the character pulling the thing, juggling the pins, the pin spinning on the light, and the character tossing the pins up on the other light?
A: just about, except i was planning to keep it even shorter, more exclusively juggling. then i realized that my short list of every juggling trick wes peden has ever done is not exactly the most "attainable" strategy i should be shooting for. and neither is the 6+ minute wander/stunt binge i wrote just before this one. so after i realized that even something as simple as the 'columns' pattern is gonna break the juggling system i've got so far, i scrambled to write a brief wander and pray i wouldn't write it too long..... this is mostly accomplished by remembering not to go outside
