Production Information for the Well Informed

This is what the pre-production schedule looked like:

Working on the production schedule. I don't have the time notes at this time, so the production schedule will be more detailed at a later date, but this is the information I have so far:

• There are 71 seconds in the animatic. Using that as a control timeframe, we need to put out 17.75 seconds per week (or 213 frames per week). If we work on a 4 days per week work schedule (Mon, Tue, Thurs, and Friday), then we as a group (because everyone will be animating) will only have to put out ~9 frames per day. 
• Obviously this will fluctuate a little since I'll be assigning specific shots to each animator. I can do the math on individual animators once I have those assigned.

This is the shot information so far (I used the storyboard Alison sent out, so that's what I mean by "thumbnails"):

Thumbnails 1-4 = Shot 1

Thumbnails 5-6 = Shot 2

Thumbnail 7 = Shot 3

Thumbnails 8-9 = Shot 4

Thumbnails 10-11 = Shot 5

Thumbnails 12-13 = Shot 6

Thumbnails 14-15 = Shot 7

Thumbnails 16-17 = Shot 8

Thumbnails 18-19 = Shot 9

Thumbnails 20-25 = Shot 10

Thumbnails 26-30 = Shot 11

Credits (or "Shot 12") to be added in digitally.

(Credits can go to either Farideh or Eifion)

Now, some of these are considerably shorter than the others. You guys can pick and choose the shots, if you want, but whoever gets the shorter scenes will be doubling up. I suggest the animators amongst us with the most skill take on shots 10 and 11 since they are the most in depth (as well as the longest). The animators who volunteer for 10 and 11 will not be required to take on any other scenes if they do not wish to.

Hey look, a production schedule:

I know it's not terribly impressive at the moment, but once I have the time notes, I'll be able to accurately pinpoint when each scene should be done. If we follow this schedule in it's absolute form, we should have no worries about getting this thing done on time. Also, this allows for there to be two weeks editing time before printing the DVD. The two week grace period allows for Nathan, Farideh, and Eifion to edit and add sound to their hearts' content, the rest of the group to fix anything that needs fixing, AND we should have time to make some nifty cover art and arrange all of our data together before handing the project in after the break.

ENJOY.
