Revamped!

In our first production meeting we had a few suggestions to alter some issues with the background. I dont think we need to make any major changes. The main thing was to have it more lighter and keeping the mood happy and therefore helping keeping with the mood of the story and fitting in with the animation. I will be reworking into the other paintings but heres what the changes look so far.
I still think the style of the characters fit each other. I think most people got confused by the wide variety of concepts we shown, which is what Peter Parr thought too. I dont believe we need to change the designs we have already. No, smoothing the boy's hair out because the girl has smooth hair (we might as well give him long hair like her too in that case). We could however tweak bits like incorporating some of the overlapping shapes in the boy's costume into the masters and girl. But be careful not to over do this.
So the plan now is to continue as we were. I heard Parr wasn't sure about our progress recently. I know we are in quite a good position at this point but apparently we haven't kept that pace up?!?!
But some good news... Jon Turner loved the idea of the film and gave us the all-clear on the storyboard so that is virtually complete. Same with the animatic except we need to run it pass the editor so we can fix up bits of the timing. That will begin next week.
Looking at the time table, we have another week to make more model sheets. 2 weeks after that to practice the characters to a quality that will prepare you for the animation stage. Also on that week, there will be animation tests going on. After that we exit the pre-production stage and enter the real production!
