Minutes Week 1

Members present:

Joel
Pete
Eva
Dimitar

The first meeting was about establishing general ideas about the project, researching Pearl Harbor, the truths and conspiricies.

I (Eva) was selected to keep the weekly minutes, we also discussed who would like to undertake the different aspects of modelling.

We; as a group; discussed the different aspects and angles that we could take while creating the models and animation, we decided that part of the production will be in first person format. We also discussed and looked into the specifics of the warfare at the time; what the battleships looked like, models of the Japanese aircraft fleet, and looked into Pearl Harbor itself.

We each identified our individual strengths and thought about our prior experince with project work and using 3Ds MAX so that we could apply these to individual tasks in order to get the most out of each member of the group.

Individual Tasks to undertake

Joel: Research and develop US Naval battleship backgrounds and shape, and also the attire of the naval captains

Eva: Research and develop Japanese aircraft fleets, different models, kamakazi planes and patternings

Pete: Research and develop the environmental aspect, The Harbour itself along with the ocean, buildings and the general landscape

Dimitar: Research and develop Battleship's interior specifically the bridge and control room. He is also looking into other vehicles that would be present on a USS naval base.

The group will meet again next week bringing their individual work so we can begin storyboarding.
