Welcome to the first blog post for Tuesday Tales. We are the project team that will be working with Legendary Entertainment for the next semester. Our team members are Jonathan Ahnert, Xiao Bao, Emre Findik, Jinchao Han, Nicky He, and Matthew Stone. Our faculty mentors are Shirley Yee and Jessica Hammer. The project we’ve been assigned from Legendary Entertainment consists of creating a location based experience using their internal mapping tools.
In the first week of the project, our team met to decide on project responsibilities, schedule, and technology needs. We also did some teamwork activities to get us working together.
In particular our roles will be:
Jonathan Ahnert: Art, design, and production
Xiao Bao: Art and design
Emre Findik:Design, programming, and sound
Jinchao Han: Art and design
Nicky He: Art, design, and programming
Matthew Stone: Design, production, and programming
The team was also able to sit down with our contacts at Legendary in order to get more specifics as to what kind of experience we will be making. During this meeting, it was understood that most of the project specifics will come from the pitch that is selected from the three that we will present to Legendary. The only requirement is that we use their internal tools, that they would like it on an iOS devices, and they want it to fit into what Legendary already does.
Based on what we learned this week, we plan to take the coming week to familiarize ourselves with the entertainment Legendary already produces in order to get a better sense of what makes Legendary products. From that, we will go on to create several pitches and hopefully have our final objective decided by quarters.
