Fighter Kites - Progress Check No. 7

This was an understandably slower week since it's the first one coming back from break. Unfortunately, three of our team members were out sick, but it's honestly the perfect time for it since our next deadline is about three weeks away.

Even though people were mostly out of commission, things were still accomplished which is a huge plus. Much of the critique we received from our last Production Pass was on our animatic, so this week was spent mostly reviewing and renewing that. Aelma worked on filling in all the missing spots, and I worked on our 'franken-matic', which is just a compilation of sourced film clips that closely follow the shots of our story. This way, the rest of the team, as well as myself, has a better vision of what professional cinematic structures looks like.

Other than the animatic, and keeping our final goals in mind, I also worked more on the main character model. Next week, I'll be working on the head sculpt in ZBrush and finalizing that for the next week. The modular buildings that we are creating for the village are also on my list to model, and I was heavily inspired by the concepts created below.

This is not my work, by the way, I just saw this on Pinterest and noticed it was exactly the idea that we needed. The designs themselves are not the same style as the buildings in our short (due to the geographical region being different), but the modular idea is still there. When I'm modeling the buildings, I'm considering the windows, doors, and other openings, and this was helpful in visualizing all of those.
