Script almost done

Tiring day, definitely.

We started out class at 12.30pm. Jem was running late, so Greg and I explained what we did yesterday at Greg's house. I explained to her the timeline and showed her Greg's character designs. Apparently, we already had chosen Greg's design. Left was Wendy's. She showed us what she had done and we finally chose one of her designs, which was a mushroom head with hands only. He was supposed to have a very sarcastic and aggressive character. Thus, a lot of emphasis would be placed on facial animation. Trust Wendy to do it. As for Greg, he got inspired from CJ 7, the movie and he designed a cute little four-legged creature which would be interacting with him. Greg spent a lot of today just focusing on character's designs. I told him to draw certain poses in different views which he thought would be seen in the animation. And so he did. Clever guy. Never seen him so serious while working before. But that was good. Very productive indeed. Good job, bro.

Jem came a little late and showed me the script for the animation that he did. It was pretty good and I helped him make a few changes here and there. Meanwhile, other groups were consulting Wahidah. Thus, we continued to do our work. Greg and Wendy working on their character designs, Jem working on the animation script and me working on the overall script. Everyone lost in their own world... never knowing what was going to come next.

Finally, Wahidah came to our group. We presented to her the same thing that we presented to Alan previously. She was quite okay with it. She had a look at the rough incomplete script that we did and forced us to think about why we chose to speak about a particular module. That gave us more things to think about, and we were lucky that we were still in the planning stage. After that, we showed Wahidah our timeline and she pointed out to us that the interim asessment was on day 15, by when a rough cut should be completed. However, we had planned our timeline in such a way that our post-production starts one day after the interim assessment. Guess lot of work to do now.

We stayed back in school after lesson to work on our individual scripts, meaning, what we each had o say in the video. Then, we would compile into one big script which would be used in our final production. Im going to work on the ending titles soon after I finish blogging.

Tiring day. Never say die.

P.S: Here's the opening introduction animation for graphics that I blocked out.
