Timeline

One of the group paperwork tasks for next week that I have been put in charge of completing is the timeline for the project. This will help give us a guideline to follow so that we can stay on track and keep in time with our allocated tasks. This may fluctuate slightly if we encounter problems or find extra things to do, but we will try and stick to it as close as we can.

Week 1 - 26/09: Gathering research, setting up blogs and establishing ideas.

Week 2 - 03/10: Continuing research, beginning the storyboard, group brainstorm, assigning the main tasks for people so that everyone is clear on what they are doing and re-capping techniques.

Week 3 - 10/10: Making the slides and planning for the group presentation next week, final brainstorm, getting feedback off each other from our individual storyboard frames, finalising the paperwork and beginning to learn more techniques.

Week 4 - 17/10: Group presentation, if any paperwork has been left undone it should be completed now and beginning the modelling of the scenery.

Week  5 - 24/10: Modelling the scenery and researching new techniques specific to our scenes that will help out animation look better, focussing on our assigned areas of animating to focus on (e.g. water, fire etc).

Week 6 - 31/10: Modelling of things needed for our scenes (characters, scenery, props, vehincles etc.) and continuing learning of new skills that haven't been tried before, in both animating and modelling.

Week 7 - 07/11: Continuing the modelling of our scenes, giving each other feedback and helping if necessary.

Week 8 - 14/11: Finishing off modelling and researching animation techniques that are needed for our specific scenes.
