Post Meeting/Progress, 3/15/15

This evening we all gathered to go over the script and brainstorm about talk about the meaning of life. (42 and/or Ergo-Zombies)

To refresh, our agenda:
- Go over script (cut, rework, prioritize)
- Go over/sketch storyboard
- Make presentation on progress/to-do for Monday's class
- consolidate... everything

--
But first! The new guy! Who is Brian? ("The Life of Brian")

• Brian does sound and yelling in sound booths with his brother
• Brian knows Premiere really well
• Brian knows visual effects pretty well
• Brian does storyboarding
• Brian does animation
• Brian has a cool backpack
• Brian sounds like a pretty cool guy

-- 
Today!
Went over script/storyboard: 
Brian started to storyboard a bit and showed us his progress.

but

We realized that we can't really finish the storyboard until we finalize the script

so

- While we chopped up the first draft of the script a bit, we decided that we still need to bring it to the class/other peeps for feedback. 
- Basically we're trying to cut and merge a scene or two to make up for time/priorities

--
Dino thought too hard about script and being too corny but was then reminded by his dedicated Dino Wrangler, Meghan, that the whole purpose of the video is to be corny. 
- Meghan suggested some research/references

Cast Brainstorm:
(Ergo) Zombie - Shelby offered to act the part and do makeup
- Shelby is working on the character design for the Zombie, she's still in the early stages of development
"Normal" Student: Tess Roever *tentative
- Tess is perfectly awkward and would make the best "normal" student ever
Announcer: Matt (via Meghan) *tentative
- Matt wants to get into voice acting, and Meghan thinks he would be a great fit/would be excited to help
- We're hoping to have Matt say a few lines over the next week so we can get a feel of what he's going for


Crew:

Dino: Director/Researcher

Brian: Special Effects/Storyboard Artist

Meghan: Assistant/Script Writer/Dino Wrangler

Shelby: Actress/Makeup Artist/Character and Costume Design
