That was pretty cool. Thank you! I wish they talked a little more about the difficulties they faced and how they solved them. If I remember correctly Ton Roosendaal once said one of the purposes of the Blender Open Movie project is to showcase the Blender is capable of handling complex large projects. After 4 open movie project it must have matured enough that Tangent Animation was able to solve most of their problems themselves! Awesome!

A senior lighting artist on the film mentions a few difficulties in the comments below.

- motion blur render times. (They patched Cycles to use Embree as its ray engine to solve this)

- memory consumption

- lack of UDIM

- clunky compositor
