Dumb title aside, this is more of a "proof of concept" animation, hence why it's so ugly looking.
I wanted to try out an animated internal, and this is where I landed.
Expect more of this nonsense since internals are the best thing since flex animations.

If you want the technical jibberjabber:
The "stomach" is made of 4 pieces with (very lazy) flex animations to make 'em move. So far, yeah, they clip a helluva lot and generally look godawful, but I'll sort all that out at some point.
The scene's the same render done twice! The first one is just Scolipede and the scenery, then the second has the scenery and Scolipede invisible to reveal Glaceon and the stomach pieces. Since the shot is the same thing twice (camera-wise) I can just plop the two renders into whatever video editing software and mask one of them for the internal shot.
