Class Review 3/30

Since Last review:

Animatic: We have an updated animatic, with some new camera angles, some cut shots after hearing critique on last review, updated the textures for most of the environment. Also we added a new story element to make the story more appealing.

Kelsey: I completed the mouse texture and have placed it into the scenes.  However, the UVs have become broken somewhere between references, so I'm currently looking on a solution.  I also realized there was an inconsistency with the snake bump map, so I re-assigned an edited version.  I also worked on layout, and completed layout for Shots 1-6 and 8-10.  I also completed the animation for the 3D animatic and started final animation on the mouse in shots 1-3.

Jorge: I completed the mouse rig after realizing there was a few bugs when the animators began to animate.  I also began working on a lighting scheme for our environment using a three-point lighting set up and a environmental fog box.  Finally, composited the 3d animatic and am currently in the process of developing a lighting key.

Lukas: i began working on the animation of the first few shots. It is taking me longer than I thought, so we have reworked the schedule so that the animation will be done by next week, and then I will have less days to work on the audio. With my limited animating experience,   I am working on making the model move in a life-like manner, without any static movements.

Christian: Textures have been finalized and released. I was supposed to have started Lighting on the characters Monday, but after testing the lighting on some of the textures, I've been making small tweaks and reworking some of the textures so that they aren't as patchy or dark in some areas. As a result, I've make a slight change in schedule to start the character lighting by the end of this week so I can have it done by the beginning of next week. After my finishing touches on tweaking the textures, lighting will be my new focus.
