Last three weeks!

Horror of horrors, I'm just now realizing that we only have three weeks left to do the previz package. To prevent me from pulling my hair out, I'm going to try to map out the next three weeks.

Next week, the work that no one will see because it's not my presentation day. Well, maybe I'll show it in two weeks.
Week 1:
-Finalized Visual Script
-Finalized Thesis Statement and Synopsis
-Finalized 2D animatic
-Shot sheet with production tasks
-First draft of Gantt chart
-Concept images, color tests, sketches, environment tests of kid, dragon, forest environment, well, pole light, manual, ingredient items, basically everything
-Hopefully I'll also have time to take a look at Eragon and Dragonslayer
-Start on "real" research -- psychological, historical, cultural, artistic styles
-block out scene with basic geometry and cameras

Week 2:
-More dragon movies
-Finish Previz thesis paper
-More concept art
-Verbal execution plan
-Start considering proof of concept work
-more finalized Gantt chart based on class comments
-more scene elements based on class comments, fix camera angles

Week 3:
-Proof of concept video file
-technical research: modeling tests, texture tests, dynamics tests
-finalized package, including research paper and concept art
-3D animatic! (If I'm lucky and have enough time)

Whew, it's not so bad, is it?

Oh horrors... is that true? Possible?? Nice animatic today. I think your story is set. As far as the drawings of the characters, I like the one with the good hair!
