I read in the Preproduction Status: "Corn Stalk needs bones so Scarecrow can push them aside" and so I added bones and a very basic rigg to the corn_stalk.mdl

.The leaves are boned, so they can be animated to avoid contact with the actor. This may be a little bit tedious, but may be acceptable if it is only needed once? The Corn Field Set gets a little bit cluttered with all these bones in the corn stalk, so I think about using two versions of the corn_stalk.mdl, the fully boned one for the first row, and a basic version, where only the stem can be animated, for the background. Is that ok?
As a first impression I did a rough animatic, 7 sec.
