Progress Update

Tonight, we worked hard on the storyboard and got it pretty close to completion. The story has turned out great, and we figured out a lot of great story/shot set-up during the storyboarding process. We're feeling really good about the progress we are making with the short thus far. We have all of our concept done, and have started tests with models/rigs and materials, such as fur tests for our fuzzy little guy. The next week and a bit will be dedicated to the modelling of our characters, rigging of both of them, and to make some progress or have completed our materials. While we are doing this, we are also figuring out some major requirements such as how to populate our forest environment properly and with various models. I (Colin) have also been working on particles for a few of the shots, including falling dirt/dust and whimsical forest fairy   particles. Our design document will start to take shape this week as well and we will sort out everything we need to do straight through until April. We have a whole lot to do, but we are working really hard and are really excited to keep pulling late nights in the lab and making this all come together.
