Manu spent the week working on the grass fields and spacing of the overall island, which is important in those long shots (like when the tornado appears) and also detailing the edge of the washing machine drum from which the storm emerges.

In addition to a short shot of Victor smiling as the tornado begins, Hjalti continued his work on Franck receiving his timer plus moved on to a new sequence: Franck running from the storm. See all three, as well as the progression of the running shot, in the videos to the left.

Lukas worked with Andy this week testing fur and grass simulations and fixing things. While Andy put the wind in the grass, Lukas working on adding the same effect to Franck's fur, as you can see in this video here.

Pablo has been working on the direction and strength of the lighting on sheep island. The two videos here show a before and after of this week's lighting change, but a few stills where he continues to experience, softening the now much brighter glow.
