Anyway in one of my scenes (7) Drew falls down a hill in rolley-poley style but getting him to curl up was proving to be a mission! When I moved his hands to touch his feet it turns out that my perfect Physique envelopes weren't so accurate after all, as you can see below I think he has a dislocated shoulder and a black-hole where his sleeve should be!

After a large amount of crying I managed to get a good adjustment level on the envelopes and he finally co-operated with me as you can see below:

As far as scenes go the sets are quite large, for example scene 3 Drew is just about to fall down a hill in the forest but I managed to reduce the amount of trees to as few as possible to lessen the rendering times which were 18 hours a scene! With some clever camera positioning below is the entire forest you see in the final video.

Below is scene 7 showing Drew falling off the hill/cliff and again with some nice positioning of the camera I didn't need a huge amount of trees to fill my scene. The trees I envisioned in my video were very stylised impersonating the giant redwood trees. My trees imply that they are so large that you can't see the canopy at all. This calls for very tall tree trunks with very few branches on each if any at all.
