How To: Sleep - March Update

Salutations! 

And welcome to the March 2023 update!

Following our super productive February, we slowed down a little in March but not to worry because we're still on track!

After another milestone, we had some important sessions in cinematography and story, and some recurring feedback made us suggest a possible addition to the film. In light of this Cait and Eli took some time to review and adjust the script slightly and mock up some new storyboard and a re-edit of the animatic we thought would be a good and strategic change to make.

But when we had a meeting with our Cg cream and lead CG artist Gus, we realised this change may not be as feasible as we’d hoped in the time frame, and regardless of further guidance from lecturers, we opted to revert to the original plan, as it just felt right. There’s no harm in trying something and whilst some of the feedback we received was positive about the change for our Director Eli it just wasn’t sitting right and with the agreement of the crew as well we opted not to implement the change.

Regardless we moved forward looking at the development of our CG environments and assets to hopefully complete the opening and closing sequences of our film. 

Producer Cait had to take a little time out from the project due to personal circumstances so taking a break is okay sometimes as you need to process, recharge and get back ready to get stuck back in. Not to worry though as director George and Eli, were straight on hand ready to Eli and pick things up for a few days. With a swift return, we celebrated crew members Gus and assistant producer Azhar’s birthdays and started to look at animating another character within the film, but I can’t say more than that I’m afraid as it would be spoilers!

To close off the month we let churned out the animation and had a good old boogie at the ‘Fixed in Post’ evening organised by producer Cait and some other coursemates

. It was a great evening surrounded by a lot of love and good energy as we broke up for Easter Break, many of the crew returning home to see family before the summer, but some of our third years are still around and working hard.

So long ‘till next month and a Happy Easter to everyone!

Cait out
