Week 1
During week 1, our team caught up about what we did during spring break. We began the base lighting for each environment (flat forest, large forest, classroom SC010, classroom SC040, and clearing) using MNPRX. 80% of shots had begun being animated and about 30% of shots were done at this point.
Week 2
During week 2, our team continued to work on the environment and character base lighting. We also began approving animation shots to be passed on to our team of lighters! We worked together to get the environment scenes organized to make the lighting process as streamlined as possible. It was emphasized that the hard deadline for animation is week 3 of Spring quarter to give our team enough time for lighting and compositing.
Week 3
Week 3, the base lighting for the environments was completed! Characters were added to each environment file to beauty light them specifically for that environment. A majority of the animation shots were approved and moved onto lighting! With only a few animation shots needing tweaks, a few animators were assigned to the lighting and compositing team.
Week 4
Week 4, we finalized a majority of the animation, began collecting videos for the ‘Making Of’ film, finalized some lighting shots, and got started on compositing! The middle of week 4 also meant there was only a month left until we had to have our film done. We also focused on cleaning up our shot transitions, as we still have difficulties with the transition between scene 1 and scene 2. We began finalizing some ideas for 2D effects to add in compositing.
Week 5
Week 5 began, and lighting was in full swing! It was up to a team of 3 to light the whole film. It was split up by scene/environment to make it easier on our lighters. The rest of our team continued to composite as fast as shots were being lit.
Week 6
Lighting and compositing continued into week 6. Now that the frame count for the film was finalized, a last pass for the sound composition began.
Week 7
Week 7 and everyone is working hard on either lighting or compositing. We started the 2D glitch effect for the forest scene.
Week 8
During week 8, we completed our film for the final render due on 5/18 to SCAD’s animation department. It was a hectic week full of stress, but we were so happy to have wrapped up our film (for the most part)! We begun working on department deliverables that are due week 9. Our website and our artbook were almost finished and we officially began work on the ‘Making Of’ film and press kit.
Week 9
Week 9, now that the film is done everyone is working on our deliverables due May 26.
Week 10
Week 10! We've made it through 1 year of hard work to create this film.
