This week our groups got together to commence our presentation planning. which will allow us to prepare for the upcoming pitch in week 3 on Thursday 14th. Our team member Rauno was the group leader and was hosting the meetings and helping to prepare the presentation topics.
After sitting round in a circle we disguised what we would try to achieve as a minimum by our presentation date, more over we disguised what level of progress we should all be at come week 8.
As a group everybody has had their say and the input has been excellent.
As a group we decided that by week 3 we would need to provide the following assets and concepts so then we could put together our presentation which would be pitched on the Thursday.
For the presentation we will need to show the following as a minimum. Two character concepts, two environment concepts, one environment block out in Maya including, animation storyboards and dance concepts.
Collectively we will need to provide all of the above from each team member:
Alexander Strevans - One character concept
Rauno Kiviberg - One character concept
Stephanie Wallis - One environment concept
Cecil Etienne - One environment concept
Oliver Stott - Animation story board & dance concepts
So far every body seems pretty happy with their allocated roles, the team member will switch round every week; moreover we have planned the remaining up coming weeks so that we can be more procedural with planning and more thorough when it comes to meeting our own team deadlines.
I am very happy with the role i have been given, i am the only person particularly interested in animating the models when they are created, the process involved and primary research is very fascinating to me.
Below is a basic undeveloped list of how we will be planning out our upcoming weeks.
Week 3 - Pitch Presentation
Week 4 - 2 environments blocked out
Week 5 -Minimum of 1 character base mesh, Block outs tested in unity
Week 6 - Minimum of one textured character
