It's worse than I thought ...

I've revised all the things I need to do before the end of the semester (at this point, about a month). It's worse than I thought! I also made a copy of Omri Navot's previsualization package and have been using it as a template for my own. The items listed are approximately in the order that I am going to tackle them:

-pre-production work
--finalized story beats
--finalized story boards
--2D animatic for timing and story
--finalized synopsis
--finalized thesis statement
--pre-production sketches, concept art, reference images, mood and color boards
--3D animatic /story reel with basic models, textures, animation, and cameras
--"finalized" shot sheet with an outline of all tasks
--Gantt chart to outline production schedule

-finalized or near finalized design
--kid
--dragon
--environment
--well
--manual
--ingredient items

-research paper
--mainly dragon films and animations
--"create a creature" or "create a pet" stories
--psychology of loneliness, mischief, fantastical play
--sociocultural significance of dragons throughout history
--artistic styles to emulate
--bibliography

-proof of concept animation / technical research
--character rigging and animation
--bubbling water dynamics
--steam / smoke effects
--dragon embryo forming underwater
--water dripping off the dragon
--dragon skin texture
--fire / burning dynamics or shaders

Impossible to do in a month?
