Quarters

This week marked quarter walk-arounds.  Our team went into quarters prepared to give a pitch of our two stories, as well as a high level description of what the project is and what are our metrics for success.  We received a lot of feedback from the faculty regarding our pitches, and the overall reaction to our stories were positive.  We also learned the importance of being enthusiastic about pitch ideas from beginning to end.  The feedback from faculty will help us to make our halves presentation a success.

Birds of a Feather or Night Witches?

After five weeks into the semester, we narrowed down our stories to these two pitches.  After long deliberation, and many meetings, and hearing almost everyone’s opinion on both stories, we have decided to go with Birds of a Feather… kind of.  We used the dystopian setting of Birds of a Feather, and the writing team has morphed it into a story that focuses on the belief that “The Grass is Always Greener”.

This process of transforming a story, iteration after iteration, came naturally, with no destructive conflict, to our writing team.  They will be working to get a first script out by Wednesday of next week, and we seem to be on task to meet our deadlines.

Next Week

Next week we will look to getting a first draft of the script completed, as well as continue to look into art styles.  This coming week we will also look into possibly hiring an additional artist as a contractor.  For our project to move forward, we will need to have additional artists on the team.  This week will be a big week for the team, and we are ready to meet the upcoming challenges head on.
