TLD - Keeping Track

Thankfully, The Lighter Dark Project is a rather small production group. We have the 'Inner Circle' whom we have names 56 - consisting of The Director, Lead Animator, Head Technition, and Producer. Then we have the rest of the group - Animators, Concept Artists, Layout Designers, Thumbnailers, Storyboarders, Sculptors and Riggers.

  
    

The To Do List is somewhat abandoned by all but myself, only looked at during our meetings, but thankfully it means only I have to really be able to understand it, though some take interest and understand the general layout, adding their own notes and ideas

Producers Classes

3rd year for the Producers requires a couple of classes on Gant charts, Pipelines and Group management.. So as a rather disorganised person in the group of Producers, I made sure to take as many notes as possible. Being a producer this year means that not only are we in charge of getting the projects finished by a set deadline, but also making sure the team have off time, and Dissertation reading and writing times. Its all been calculated and everything will be fine.. I hope. 

Not-so-Urgh

So I was allocated Project Manager today for out Penryn 800 project.... so that either means everyones going to hate me for nagging them to get the work done to we can finish the animation, or they'll love me because we might (hopefully) get an amazing grade and blitz this term.... but i doubt it... :/

i did all the organising today so I'm pretty chuffed with myself - a predominantly lazy sofa dweller. drafting up a schedule for the next couple of weeks with all the jobs that need to be done, informal deadlines, COLOUR CODED OF COURSE. i even  wrote a proper script today for the the in-betweeners to go along with ( thats myself and Sophia) as well as the background designer (Adam)

im not exactly sure what Chris is doing, but thats because he's been away for over a week with family problems... he could be lying but id like to think he would make stuff like that up... We will of course be finding something for him to do, a project to take over. I might even allocate him Swords, Bows and Sheilds to design for the Spanish troops.... we shall see :)

Im just so happy I'm finally getting organised and getting on top of things.
