Minor Project - Plan

Today in my tutorial with Alan we discussed a plan for my minor project, in it's basic form I will be trying to get everything ready for animation except the full environment. I will be aiming to create temp backgrounds that work for each shot and I will be trying to block out the key poses that are needed to tell the story.

So for the minor project I plan to have:

- Characters and environments designed

- Characters modelled, rigged and textured (animation ready)

- Temp environments made ready for animation

- Storyboard and Animatic

- Poem Narrated

- Music composed

- Planned animation (key thumbnails)

- Key poses blocked out in Maya

- Previs of the short (to test if the story reads and the poses work)

Getting all of this done will put me in a great position for the major project, I will then be able to focus heavily on animation.
