                         Weekly Review 1:

            So, we just started the first week of the commercial and I'd say it's going well so far. Throughout the week, the Discord server, the SyncSketch, and the Trello had been created and shared throughout the group. The in-between parts of the commercial were mostly fleshed out. The shot list with the scene details, music, FX, and the narrator was also created. We also went over the shots and how many each of us were going to draw out. The initial shot count was 15 that was counted on a whim, but I figured out that the count would be lowed to 8 to be able to fit into the 30 second timeframe of the commercial. Lastly, I wanted to make sure that the models that we were going to use, worked in the transfer over to Unreal before we spent a lot of time on a rig that didn't transfer correctly.

    This was the test that one of our animators, Reed, did over the week to test the dragon rig for Unreal compatibility using the Alembic cache workflow and it was very successful.
