It's getting real exciting this week! The team has been whiteboxing scenes and assets as the primary focus for the project review next week and everything's looking great. With all of these assets being translated to Maya, it feels like we're almost past the pre-production curve ready to dive into modeling. And just in time for Spring Break as well, though I don't suppose we'll get too much done during that time!

As for myself, I've gotten to the point where the storyboard and spreadsheet are reaching their final stages. Along with some added content from Anna, the storyboard is nearing its prime evolution. The spreadsheet is fleshed out, updated, and packed with some new content for making use easier - such as the search bar you can see in the picture. Team members can type in the name of an asset or shot and receive a variety of information about it without having to scroll through the spreadsheet.

All that's left before the review is putting these two elements together. I'm still planning to meet with one of our instructors about Nuke and we have a date in the books, so hopefully these elements can reach their full potential. I feel it's tremendously important to have these guidelines so that everyone is on the same page - a lesson learned from last semester - so I've put my all into making it accessible and understandable to my team. Can't wait for the production pass, can't wait to finish the spreadsheet and storyboard, and most of all, can't wait to start modeling!
