For this sprint I helped with management, did render research and testing, lighting, camera/sequence changes, pipeline guides, animation for 4 shots, sound management, environment fixes, and the final edit/presentation. 

For this last sprint we had a lot of tasks still left over that needed to be done, so I met with the animators and set up deadlines for how the last sprint would go. David wanted to hold a meeting concerning last minute issues he saw, and I instructed him to make documentation for everything to go smoothly. I also met with our sound person repeatedly throughout the week to update her based on timing changes. I looked through the sequence in engine and made notes on lighting, camera, and animation in our excel doc. I also made guides for the animators to follow on how to correctly import props and add them to the sequencer.  I imported/ added the animation in each sequence shot and also took note of what was missing and what needed fixing. 

For lighting I asked a friend to help me out with changing the lighting in out scene in order to get things moving along. We have since then experimented with lighting and changed it from this. 

Me and Jordyn also messed with the cameras for a couple days and updated all of the shots in the sequences based on feedback. There was also a couple environment issues that surfaced with the animators such as some people not updating their environment while animating or the environment being changed without notice. I helped fix Stephens animation due to this and sent them a new version that they could use. I also helped fix the environment for the animators when things were misplaced a couple times.  

I tested out rendering a couple shots and I got help from Cheryl on fixing a light flicker issue with the windows. I will continue to render tonight for the presentation. I also worked on finishing the animation for sequence C_50, C_70-100.

For this sprint, I handled foley management, animation pipeline and in engine set up, animation for sequence C shots 50, 70-100, editing the reel, and final presentation set up. 

For foley, I met with lux our sound contractor a couple times, discussed deadlines, goals and also went to full sail to help out with the foley session. 

For animation pipeline, I met up with the artists a couple times set deadlines and guides on how to import animation correctly into engine. 

We discussed camera changes and I went into engine to change a couple of those myself. 

For animation I only tweaked a couple things for my shots but I wasn't able to finish like I had planned to. 

Due to a lot of import issues in engine, such as the yarn string being invisible, I asked the animators to turn in playblasts of their animation to showcase our reel. with those playblasts I made a new reel to show.
