A: Show how you have used backdrops

The 2 screenshots below show how we have used the backgrounds/backdrops or backplates from above. the first on is of the corridor with a small wooden door and the second is a corridor with the bookcase the only thing missing is the artefact on the 2nd bookshelf

B: How we Set up the Equipment

C: Show you have followed the script and storyboard

We have followed the script because the animation more or less ended how the script said it would be like, the storyboard also matches the animation we ended up with. To elaborate the part when the script says "(LUNA moans as she rubs her head)" is shown here. Unfortunately the name and gender of the main character has changed due to not being able to get a female voice actor or someone who could do a female voice well. Luna is now a male and is called Vincent. The storyboard board also says "We fade in to see that Vince had turned into a cat rubbing his head...".

Also the part when the script says "The orb disintegrates as LUNA can feel the power diminishing from her body. She lets out a tear." The storyboard says "Vince loses contact with Russell, isolating vince and leaving him alone in a bad situation. He sheds a single tear and the shot fades to black. Again the screenshot below shows that the animation we ended up with looks like the script and storyboard stated only difference is that Luna is now a male and is called Vincent as stated earlier.

D: Explain how you have met the requirements of your risk assessment

We followed our risk assessment and made sure that we stuck to it. Our first risk was eye strain. We controlled this risk by taking regular screen breaks and sitting correctly at the desk. Breaking up work with breaks is important when animating (there is a large work load). We also met the requirements of our risk assessment by clearing our desks to make sure we had enough space. We made sure that the temperature was an acceptable standard. 

E: Explain and show how well you followed your production schedule 

Development

At first we had to come up with ideas for a story individually. We then pitched our ideas in front of the class which took less than 2 minutes for each person. We then had a anonymous vote on what ideas sounded the best. After that we were assigned groups of three and then decided what story idea we would do. 

Pre Production

My group split the work load so one person could be creating a script whilst another person was filling out a call sheet. After paper work was completed we then started creating assets for our animation. This consisted of face expressions, character design and walk cycles. 

Production 

When we finalised the script we had to record dialogue. The dialogue took an hour to record. The production mainly consisted of recording dialogue for our characters. We had three characters in total and we re- recorded audio twice so the characters sounded genuine. The dialogue had to be minimal because lip syncing can take up a lot of work time. 

Post Production 

When it was time to actually create the animation we had to split the script three ways. Ayrton did the beginning, Andrew did the middle and I did the end. This was the last part to our animation and it was meant to end it on a kind of cliffhanger. The lip sync took me a couple of hours to do but I was really satisfied when I finished it.
