Final Two Weeks

To Do

• maintain journal notes, posting new work and reflections
• identify technical obstacles and find solutions in class
• work added to animatic
• identify shortcuts, things to cut out to make process efficient and realistic
• make sure calendars are up to date

Tim
- work with moving layers and masks to create wave animation
- add typography to cards to give final look (and work backwards from there)

Mee
- post new work, take action to move forward
- make decision about visual aesthetic
- start with illustrations and make choices about what moves after the composition are set up

Tara
- continue forward progress
- consider replacing white background; seems to work best with full color in image
- consider interaction of performer and imagery for efficiency in production

Chris
- catch up on journal entries, work posted.
- need to see illustrations populating entire animatic, then make movement choices

Meghan
- move forward and communicate progress to partner whether or not you hear back
- use After Effects for motion that can be keyed; start with illustrations for character movement and consider use of cross-dissolves to give impression of fluidity

James
- maintain forward momentum
- let's see the animation this week

Cynthia
- maintain forward momentum
- find moments where After Effects movement might help save you time (i.e. camera moves)

Andrew
- need to see work

Andre
- catch up posting to blog
- use After Effects to create movement from limited animation/illustration

Ra'shon
- post animation
- identify After Effects or Flash questions

Greg
- change blog format to show post entry date and time
- make a usable production calendar
- need to see more pieces of the puzzle
