Meeting 8th Oct 2007

Since we have to be in Monday for pre-production, this will be a nice opportunity to meet briefly and discuss any areas/issues that need clearing up, suggestions and refinement of the storyline so that we can go away and know what needs to focused on and what research needs to be done.

So far what is needed:

*** Background Concepts

I know its hard with the background concepts as I havn't had a chance to refine and finalised the storyline, so maybe if possible just collect a lot of visuals.

*** Possible Music

Again, I know its going to be difficult when nothing is finalised. sorryyyyy.....but start keeping an eye out for soft music, preferably with an oriental feel?

Group and Roles

So far, the roles are as follows:

Myself:
Director and Producer,
Concept (Characters/Environment),
Modeller (Character & Environment),
Texturing,
Script writer,
Compositor,
Rendering

Sung Jin:
Technical Artist - Lighting, Rigging, Weighting etc
Concept (Environment),
Layout Artist,
Modelling (Environmental?)

Aminata:
After Effects,
2D animation (or maybe all in After Effects, depending how the story gets developed),
Animator

A small group, but hopefully things will be ok if we stay to schedule.

The following people have expressed interest that if needed they are willing to help out in some areas. I understand that they may not be able to take on as much to help out and it is also fair to let them know if I will have enough work to let them work on. But, so far:
Sam: Rigging, Weighting, Animation
Rey: Texturing
Sarah: Background textures, ink & watercolour
Gary: Animation

I know all these roles are subject to vary, however, the full-timers and the majority of their roles that have been assigned will most likely remain the same.
Further updates will be posted as we go along if there are changes in any roles.
