As we get closer to the end of the semester, we find ourselves having to come up with different ways to keep each other updated. We’ve been using Hansoft up to this point, but we find ourselves now having to be very detailed about what our deliverables for the Soft Opening on April 21.

The director first made a list of what items were distracting in every shot thus far. This list included assets that were missing and assets that needed adjustment. Then the team looked over the list and prioritize the deliverables. The team then decided against putting the list on Hansoft in favor of putting the list up in the room. We are now meeting every day and crossing off things on the list. Most of these items need to be ready to render by early next week so we are in a mad dash to finish the assets.

Once we’ve finished our Softs iteration, we will start to focus on our final product–adjusting, defining, knitpicking. We’ll just have a week or so to really make the animation sparkle before we give it up to the final render.
