Down to crunch time. No point in listing the goals now; it's all got to be finished ASAP! Just remember to:
  • post anything you can for approval
  • keep working on something at all times!
  • breathe deeply

OK, progress this week. Gantt chart is pretty detailed, although I want to get Myles stamp of approval. New sections to the research paper: Introduction and Cultural Historical drafts. Added animation and SFX to animatic. Created some new storyboard panels. Been busy, but still much to do...

Week 9 Complete

Progress on the storyboards...finally. Had a burst of four or five thumbnails, and now only one or two more panels should do it. I'll have to make them final quality next week. I also created a task list, a visual script, posted more reference, and made a much more detailed outline for my research paper. A productive week...
