Setting up render files

Just did a final test render comp before finally starting to render my film. The files are almost completely set up for the rendering process. In the meantime, here is a still from the final camera being used in the animation with ambient occlusion. I hope to have a z-depth file set up soon as well so that I can render out that pass.

Bedroom (Daytime) Lighting Tests

The images above are very rough, low resolution tests. This room is very briefly in the film, but I wanted a dark contrast to the saturated exterior shot that follows it.
