Still To Do...

Thought I might update you all on where we are currently up to.

Character Design - Need to finish boy design, a bit more work on the girl's head.

Model Sheets - Once the character design stage is near complete, we can get this underway. Ive heard the more model sheets we produce, the better.

Storyboard - Pretty much complete (until Parr destroys it so we'll need a check up on that) There are rooms for the animation to break away and add some more flashy movements.

Animatic - So far we are using the old one. There is only a few chances in the storyboard so I think this is still a decent referance for timing. Our editor was going to have a go at timing the animatic himself but we can hardly keep contact cause he's extremely busy atm.

Music - I found a few musicians on the internet that are available for collaboration but I havent made any approach yet. I was thinking of keeping our options open cause there may be someone we could use from the BU. But perhaps we should act fast instead? Will ask Parr for his thoughts.

Colourkeys - Complete. May fiddle around with it more but no big thing.

Character Colours - Got a strong idea of where they are heading. Cant really get this done without the character's final design.

Layouts - With the colourkeys kinda done and the thumbnailing/designing pretty much done too. This stage can start soon. The perspective lines are already available, so when you're ready, you can animate.

Crewpack - Im getting on to this. A few pages are written up, but we'll need the model sheets done too to fit them in.

Things to think about (we'll probably decide this when we're all back):
Clean-up (TJ mas some interesting points about this)
Referance (would it be helpful to film some live action?)
How to do the petals (2d or 3d)
When are we going to Smash some Bros?!?!?!
