Since the interim crit we have tweaked our Gantt chart, and divvied up different roles. I wrote the copy for the pitch bible whilst Rosie and Brenda prepared assets such as the concept art and pre-production imagery. The pitch bible will be an ongoing process which will be completed as we go along the production schedule.
It was decided that the most important thing for a consistent visual feel to the piece is the watercolour painted backgrounds. As Rosie and Brenda's styles differ wildly and I am an unexperienced painter, we chose Brenda to paint all the background for the video. The brush pack that Rosie prepared for us will allow us all to chip in with the digital painting, which - for two reasons - will not be so jarring as if the backgrounds were jointly painted.
Firstly, because the character colours will be animated, and therefore always in motion, it will be more difficult to notice any stylistic differences that may occur between the three of us.
Secondly, due to the nature of digital painting, graphics tablets, the limits of the brush pack, and a simplified and restricted colour palette, our individual styles are likely to be less distinct from each other than they would be if we were attempting to paint with natural media.
Rosie has been given the role of animating keys, which I will then in-between, and Brenda is going to paint backgrounds. Once Brenda is finished with the painting she will join either me or Rosie, depending on which one of us looks like they need most help. This will hopefully free me up to begin on compositing the various scenes.
