Last thursday, we decided on some changes to our script, to make sure that we could make the dead line, and while we where on the subject of changes, we could also make our story more clear then it was. Let's face it, it was quite confusing.

I have started my animation work, working on a running cycle until I get some more scenes ready.

I know this is suppose to be a reflective journal, but it's much easier to write about right now. So I'll start with right now.

We are just about to start the animating proses, and I'm looking forward to it. I have spent most of yesterday (after our group meeting) realizing that there aren't to many good free rigs. Unless you want' to make a T-rex. Got a tips about CAT (character animation toolkit) that adobe seem to have bought up, so it's no longer free, and hard to get a earlier version. So I guess that they have restricted access to it as much as they could. In theory I guess it's a good rig, as it has some cool features I have no idea what are, it makes me curious.
Anyway, working on some animation now... just started, so I don't have any video, but I will post some when I'm "done".

Now the thinking back part, I just now saw that I had a journal post from some weeks back that was saved in "Drafts" and was never published, oops. At least I have made that mistake now, and will be keen on it in the future.
I should have slept more back then (I guess), hard to concentrate when you are tired (discreet transition to concentration). On the other hand, when you can't concentrate you are either distracted or creative. so I hope there came something good or at least inspiring out of it.

Summary: Animating=good, Sleep-depraved=m bad.

Only a few days behind schedule, but still, a few days behind. we where suppose to start with the animation yesterday, but some minor setbacks made sure that the animation work we can do is limited until Monday. I handed out some assignments based on what we had available, some to fix the problem, and the rest is researching things we weren't sure of. I still feel in control of this, and hope it will stay that way trough the hole project.

I'm thinking back. 3 weeks ago we tried a system for handing out assignments, 3D models and scenes was arranged in a list with a time set to them, so everyone fill their own time by picking the assignments they needed to fill their week. I feel it worked pretty well, I didn't remember to write everything in the list, but the missing pieces was made just after they where "remembered".
