This week we were given no tutorials to do so we continues our individual work. As the weeks are moving on, we decided that we need to start putting time limits on when things will need to be finished in order to give enough time to render at the end of semester, this will be done next week.

We all gave a brief summary on how we're doing and how far we are from finishing our models.

Tasks

Joel: finish hands
Eva: Add materials to plane
Pete: continue environment
Dimitar: continue models

Today week was our group progress report presentation. We, as a group, presented our initial report on our plans and hopes for the project. We each presented our skills and expertise, which aspect of the project we would be doing and showed our storyboard, asset list and various other documents and research that we had done so far.

The focus of todays meeting was to organise the presentation for next week (week four). The objective of the presentation is to give a progress report on how the project is coming along; what we have researched, what (and how) we are going to model and how we are going to animate.

We also need to mention our individual tasks and skills, listing and explainig what we ourselves are modelling and inputting into the project.

However, the main aspect of the presentation is to explain how we will be delivering the brief, explaining what approach we are taking; which, in our case; is explaining how we are going to incorporate the factual elements and the conspiricies into the animation, making it as factual and educational as possible.

Before the meeting today I (Eva) had began making the template for the presentation and began putting some slides together in order to give ourselves a head start when we got to the meeting.

Each of the group members added something to the presentation about what they will be doing, so that we will be aware of what we need to talk about on the day, we plan on meeting again before the class (Wednesday) so we can further prepare for the presentation.

Individual tasks

Pete: Continue creating environment
Joel: Continue modelling
Dimitar: continue working on other vehicles
Eva: Complete aircraft model

Today we had our second group meeting. We brought ourselves up to date with what we have been doing through the past week.

We also worked on our storyboard for the animation and made an asset list for the animation, these tasks took up the majority of the time of the meeting.

As a group, we mind mapped our individual ideas for the animation and moulded these ideas into a feasible plan of action to try and encorporate both sides of the story (conspiracy and not) into a workable scenario. Joel did the sketching as he is most skilled in this area. This task took so long as we wanted to come up with the most creative and achievable project plan.

We made an asset list of the elements that need to be modelled for the animation. This is so we didnt make anything that wasn't going to be seen in the animation as to not waste any time that could be spent on more valuable modelling elements.


Individual tasks

Pete: Continue researching and working on environment

Joel: Begin work on battleships and continue research into servicemen's uniforms

Dimitar: Continue research into interior of battleships and what would have been in the harbour at the time (props)

Eva: Continue working on aircraft, continuation of research into the conspiricies of that day and make a start on the presentation to get ready for the progress report in week 4.
