Production Plan

What we aim to do for production practice is to fully animate three characters over the ten weeks with the final three weeks to be spent putting them into a short animated film. The film will feature one of the protagonists of the game fighting off the two hoodlums.

Week 1-3

·         Week one to three will be spent planning what we intend to do over the course of the fifth teen weeks       using a gantt chart and this production plan

·         We intend to do research and tutorials for the first few to weeks to get the hang of animating

·         We also intend to write an animation description sheet so we can better understand how the character will be animated

Week 3-7

·         Week 3-4 will be spent animating Johnny idle, walk and run cycle

·         Week 4-5 will be spent animating the kick, punch and jump cycle

·         Week 5-7 will be spent animating two different combo attacks for Johnny

Week 7-10

·         As we don’t know how long it will take to fully animate Johnny this is just a rough guide for us to follow as we are hoping to do three within the fifth teen weeks

·         Week 7-8 will be spent animating Thug one idle, walk and grab cycle

·         Week 8-9 will be spent animating jump, kick and punch

·         Week 9-10 will be spent animating combo and weapon attack (club)

Week 9-13

·         Week 9-10 will be spent animating Thug two idle sequence

·         Week 10-11 will be spent animating walk, grab and jump cycle

·         Week 11-12 will be spent animating kick, punch and combo

·         Week 12-13 will be spent animating a weapon attack (knife or bottle)

Week 13-15

·         In the final three weeks we will be choreographing a fight sequence between Johnny and the two thugs and hopefully adding in each of the animation we have spent the term doing

·         We will then render and record into a video that will be shown in the presentation at the end of the term
