As it is my responsibility for the documentation, and in the role of producer for this project, I’ve made some changes and new documents.
After a meeting yesterday with Michal we added some scenes from the storyboard, which were on his wishlist. Changed scene numbers and names in the scene descriptions document.
I also made a Cross script to organize for the merging of all our work, for the rendering and final parts of the project. What’s needed for every scene and what can we do with the material we have got?
The work with the cross script isn’t finished yet.
This helps to complete the priority list, which I now have added my part of. I’ve also changed the group responsibilty part with the scenes mentioned earlier, and some small changes in the layout. :D
The next step is to plan the shooting of the live footage, which is running late due to problem with the camera. I’ve made most of the plans but will complete this so nothing is missed during the recording. And also have some meetings to get tips for the recording, for a good material to track for example.
That’s what I’ve done lately, much to organize so that we will get it all together, and that everybody knows what to do and what the others are doing.

We made some documentaion updates as mentioned in an earlier post. A priority list with both individual and group planning. (All individual planning is not yet done). A description of all the scene in the short, with names and scene numbers. A recording plan for the live footage. (The planning is in progress for the recording, but a date is not yet set).

This is our delivery for Milestone 2.
It consists of storyboard delivery, Previz delivery, Production Progress Report which includes the test reports.
First modelling delivery:
The documents can be found in the documents folder on this page.
We looked at our workload and decided to cut some scenes in the story, this to ensure the quality of the movie. It’s mainly the scenes with the air balloon that we decided to skip since they don’t are necessary to the story. Here is the modified storyboard:
We are now done with the storyboard, click on the image to take a look at it:
We updated the timeplan with some deadlines and tables for the different phases of the projcet and refined the planning of production a bit. Also added a props list with dates for delivery of specific models and animations (this document in not yet fully completed).
And we made some changes in the project plan after feedback from MS1, added references and corrected some other things.
This is the documents for our first milestone:
We have now uploaded our proposal, project plan, timeplan and the story to our short film we are making.
We are currently working on a storyboard and some concepts will be posted shortly.
