So I've set myself scenes to do each day and so far so good. I have completed scenes 3 and 10. I have also saved all the frames as PNG, pretty sure thats right.
Hope your both doing alright.

Production Bible
Making a list of all the things that need to be in the Production Bible:
Concept (synopsis)
Target Audience
Script
Moodboards
Colour Palette
Character Turnaround with description of characters
Action Poses
Flower Design
Storyboard with descriptions
Backgrounds
Budget
Production Schedule
It would be handy if you can look over the list and make comments. I'm pretty sure some things are missed out but I can't figure out what else needs to be in there :)
Let us know asap because its going to be put together rather soon!

Christmas Break Colouring Rota
Sorry fellow Firefly workers, Christmas isn't going to be a break! The scenes are broken up as follows:
Robyn will take Scenes 3, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 6
Sarah will take Scenes 4, 5, 13, 8 and 9
Scanning should be completed by the end of tomorrow, and so individual hard drives will need to be brought in on Thursday & Friday to give out the PSD files ready for the colouring.

Current Schedule 11/12/2010
[ Half coloured squares means some of the layers have been scanned but not all ]
On Monday/ Tuesday Cleanup is likely to end. At this point Beccy will be devoting her time to making the backgrounds. Robyn will have a short 'tutorial' with me on the scanning process.
We've got until thursday to complete all the scanning, but I'm predicting it can be finished for Wednesday. Once Robyn has joined in on the scanning process, shifts will be taken between herself and Sarah. When not on scanning duty, the other member will be starting colouring.
Next week the Producer will be giving out the colouring scenes.

Colour Pallette 1 - for use on long shots
Just double-checked the colour on this one, nevertheless, if something looks a bit odd or you've got other ideas, just comment on them here / send me an email. Sarah - If you want to change the font for the production bible, I can send the photoshop file to you :)
Thats not the final backround, by the way! I'm about halfway through it, I think, at the moment, I'll post the backgrounds as they get finished.

Some photoshop help
Some notes taken from Ian's workshop about Actions and other photoshop wonders.
To create an action --->
Action > folder > New Action (which is like the new layer button) > function key to F(something) > your actions will start being recorded so be economical with your actions > remember to stop recording when your done!
To repeat the action simply press the button you set, ie: F3
To seperate the drawing from the page --->
create Alpha > ctrl A > ctrl C > channels > new layer > ctrl V > ctrl I > ctrl click on Alpha > Back to Layers > create a new layer > paint bucket black > ctrl D > delete the background > duplicate the layer
A bit dry, but I hope it helps.

Schedule
Adding on from the tutorial with Rachel, here is exactly what needs to be done and when for.
Shot 6 (Beccy) - Rough Completed
Shot 3 (Robyn) - Rough Completed
Shot 7 (Robyn) - Rough to be Completed for Friday (3rd)
Shot 10 (Robyn) - Rough to be Completed for Friday (3rd)
Shot 12 (Beccy) - Rough to be Completed for Friday (3rd)
Shot 11 (Beccy) - Rough to be Completed for Friday (3rd)
Shot 5 (Sarah) - Rough to be Completed for Friday (3rd)
Shot 8 (Sarah) - Rough to be Completed for Friday (3rd)
Shot 9 (Sarah) - Rough Completed
Shot 4 (Sarah) - Rough Completed
I've extended the Animation by two days due to an overlap of Cleanup and Scanning being done at the same time.
Monday 6th will be the start of the Cleanup. We have until Wednesday 15th to complete the Cleanup. Cleanup will be done by Robyn & Beccy (Sarah will join in cleanup until there is sufficient to start scanning). Thats 8 days to do 10 scenes.
On Monday the scanning will also commence (once there is something to scan!) and this shall also give us an indication if cleanup is correct/needs changing.
There will be two days at least where there will be no Cleanup (more if it takes shorter time than what I have allowed for). In the time when there is no more cleanup and scanning is the only thing going on, Robyn will be finalising Colour and Beccy will be finalising the backgrounds.
Scanning will finish on Friday 17th. The scenes for Colouring will be given out accordingly on Friday PM.
Think thats everything for the immediate future... :)
