BSA703-Timeline and production Schedule

 

I created a Production Schedule at the start of the project. I has timed everything out to create the less amount of stress as possible. I had left room to be able to push parts of the scdule out if time needed it. What I didn’t expect was the fact that I would have to push out the schedule about 4 weeks from what I originally had.

Our production schedule had to be pushed out multiple times. We spent at least ¾ of our production time on refining the script and the animatic. While this meant that we had a great script and animatic. It took away a lot of production time. With less production time we had to cram animating scenes into one week per scene.

Due to the lack of response from our 3D team, we were held back when we needed that 3D camera shots to do a large amount of our 3D Animation. Edwin and Ian ended up having to push out those 3D camera shots for animators and then did the whole process again with directors edits when rendering.

 

In the last week of Production (that I had scheduled for compositing and editing) we were still doing clean up animation. Six of us came in every night after 6pm to work on the project. We stayed until 4am some nights.

On Thursday 17^th June, Thomas, Max, Edwin and I pulled an all nighter. Finishing the project at about 10am Friday morning. Melissa stayed with us until about 4am in the morning before he went home as there was nothing else that she could do.
