MileStones

These are the milestones that I have come up with for my thesis project:

Milestone 1: I will have all of my rigs picked out and re textured if I think that they need to be. I will have all props selected to go. I will have good quality copies of all the sound clips that I need. My story boards will be drawn out and completed. From the storyboards I will complete my animatics that will help time out my animations. I will have lighting tests (by test I mean have a single render shot of the character with different lighting styles).

Milestone 2: For this milestone I am going to have some animation tests done with the rigs I am going to use. These tests would include the walk cycles which can be refined and cleaned up later over winter break for use in the reel. A few short lip sync animations will be done. The clips used for these will be different than the ones featured in the final reel. Again these tests are being used so i get comfortable with the rigs.

Milestone 3: for this milestone I will have my lip sync character monologue near completion or completed. At this time one of my other animation clips will be complete as well.

Milestone 4: For this milestone I will have the other one or two animation clips near completed or completed. Start rendering of other completed clips

Milestone 5: April deadline clips completed and rendered final reel finished.
