The Tragati from Points of Departure (201)

Just over a year ago I uploaded a handful of short test renders which didn’t include any audio - I was basically getting used to working with LW 5 and the old files - then promptly took them back down while promising that if I didn’t get cut off at the knees by the powers that be for doing these renders then I’d return to those episodes at some point and upload a more extensive selection from them. This is one of those episodes. For the second season opener there was a lot of the CGI which ended up on the cutting room floor - so far I haven’t seen any other episode where it happened so often or by so much. It was obviously to tighten up the action - which made sense - but most sequences had anything from 10 to 80 frames clipped from either the start or end of them . . . sometimes both. Even when stitching this short sequence together, even I didn’t use every frame from every scene, though I did want to include some of the things which didn’t make it into the episode -
