Flora and Fauna is a short film in response to the prompt "Living Imagination". It was completed by a team of eight over the span of three months. My responsibilities included Project Management, Lead in Story, Lead in Animation, Modeling, and Surfacing.
Project Management
As Project Manager, I created and maintained google sheets to track the tasks of team members, the progress of the film, and the time spent on the project by each team member. This included a calendar, asset list, time log, shot sheet, and scrum sheet. I was also in charge of distributing tasks evenly, prioritizing tasks in a high-stress environment, leading meetings, managing conflict, and communicating with our professor on behalf of the team.
Story
As Lead in Story, I facilitated group discussion and ensured consensus on all story decisions. I also drew and edited all storyboards and 2D animatics.
Animation
As Lead in Animation, I was responsible for half of the character animation in the short and coordination of animation across all shots. My primary goal was to make sure the style of animation remained consistent across the work of all three artists.
