Team Journal Week 06
0Continuing with the same pattern as the last 4 weeks, Alexis and Juan focused solely on animation, while Chris animated and took care of whatever else happened to pop up, along with assembling shots to render.

Team Journal Week 01
0This week we all got back from Spring Break (though a few never left) and met to discuss moving forward with the project. The lack of clarity and resulting anxiety on what “Beta” was carried over from last quarter, but was soon resolved by deciding to focus on moving forward with the schedule we haveContinue reading

Team Journal Week 09
0This week was a long week of fighting the renderfarm, corrupted files, xGen caches, crashes, and many a shed tear. But some grief knows no words, and to try would be a disservice to the hardships we’ve endured, and the deadline approaching. We all animated, we all rendered, we all comped, we all didn’t sleep.Continue reading

Team Journal Week 08
0Everyone’s working fully to get our “Beta” animation done for next week. Avery and Chris primarily worked on the poster Thursday and Friday. While it took a significant amount of time away towards actual production it did push up the deadlines for shading which left time for a second pass before they were really due.Continue reading
