Ready to Start Polishing

Here's the work that I have so far. As far as I'm concerned the animation is ready to move on to pass 4.
Some observations that I have made after working with the rig:
1. The tail is pain to animate, I think I should have went with an IK, rather than an FK on an IK, the slightest hip movement magnifies the tail's movement

2. I put too many controls on the head. I got the entire head control on one control curve which means a LOT of keyframes. I should have placed the main controls on one curve and the details like hair and overlapping tools on another curve.

Other than those observations, I think it's a pretty good rig.

Anyways, here's the progress video:

Progress 10-14-13

So here's my progress so far. I made some time changes and I finally finished the plane twirl scenes. Some of them are probably going to need to be tweaked a little more.
