The Apothecary Week 10 - Keep Chugging Along with the Story

Dated: 04 April 2024

After our second production pass, we got a ton of feedback from the rest of the class and our professors.

Over Spring break, I was in Utah sight seeing amazing landmarks such as Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Capital Reef. My family and I had a great time and we were so tired by the end of the trip. When our family vacation was over, I had an Animation Expo in Salt Lake that I was attending and it was a great experience to meet all of the amazing guest speakers, studios, collaborators, and even attendees. When my trip was finally over, I got stuck at the airport and ended up waiting around 17 hours as my plane to Denver was delayed. As much fun as Spring Break, was I wanted to catch up with some of my class work and I wasn't able to.

As we have been working on our story for the past week, I think we have made great progress and I believe we will have an accurate version of our story that we can use soon. Some of the big changes that we made to the story is that our timeline will take place over the course of 1 day, we have adjusted some of the actions that Basil makes, and we have created personas for the crowd/other people in the store.

We have really just been focused on the story aspect to our film at this point in time and I think the whole team is super excited to work on aspects different than the story.

Oliver is starting to work on the 3d layout for all of our shots so he will be keeping in mind the compositions, focal lengths, aspect ratio, cinematograph, etc. based off our our storyboards and the set of our project.
