Qupdate

I have been working a little more on the film, however it's mostly been putting together the titles, fine tuning the audio and adjusting the colour correction.

I have not been having fun with the titles, since I decided to go ahead and create them using particle effects in Maya.  Which caused me no end of headaches with my assigned particle IDs not persisting between sessions.  Of all of the pieces created, only one has made it into the final piece, and that is the one for the main title.  Oh yes, I came up with a name finally:
