This 44-second video consists of just over 1000 frames. However, several thousand frames were rendered for quick previews, testing different iterations, render bugs, etc. Working from just a laptop with a mediocre graphics card, I quickly realized a project on this scale would be extremely time-consuming. The time waiting for the renders would eat all my time to do the actual work and be creative. 

However, with my brother recently getting a much more powerful computer and not needing to do very high-performance tasks,  I knew my solution would be to set up a system to schedule renders for both of our machines. By using: Deadline, a VPN, and a cloud storage system, I was able to easily submit render jobs while working. Not only did the overall render speed increase by 400% but now I was able to see the results while working, allowing me to change whatever I needed without waiting until the next day (or sometimes several).
