Alright, well I took Bitter Bill into work to get some opinions from the pros, and what I ended up with is some good advice. This means that the short will be delayed yet again while I do some fixes, but quality is the key here. Unless I have a really busy week, I should be able to get this stuff done moderately quickly, so hopefully Bill will be out in the next couple of weeks. I still need music, but not until I'm done animating, which will hopefully be done in a week, maybe a week and a half.
