    Could probably be cheated in some way but I went full bananas! And also building it in Cinema was probably faster to do for me.
    You also get a lot of the light interaction and reflections from the surrounding tiles for free in Cinema which you would probably lose in AE. Not that it matters a whole lot but it adds a little bit to the whole look.

    And all that of course added to the rendering time! The rendering part was painful!

    If I went for 2k everything would be much more manageable! But wanted to try the 4k out. Now I know what a pain it is!

    It wasn't just the rendering part that was insane it was also managing the sheer amount of data, and dealing with everything in editing.
    The rendered frames alone were totalling 90GB of data!

    Thankfully Google's Zync service came to the rescue. They offer 300$ of rendering as a demo for their service! Used up two demo accounts! Should have been cheaper but also made a lot of mistakes while learning the new service
