Waiting

Well, I way way way behind schedule. Because of the lack of a real storyboard, it's been hard to get everyone to agree on what we'll be seeing in the final animation. And because the 'chain of communication and command' is so long and spread out, it takes forever to get anything done.

The director told me last week that they'd hired a new guy who could draw and was setting him to work on some storyboard sketches, but I still haven't seen them and, when I do get them, that'll mean I've finally got the storyboard - something that was supposed to happen a month ago.

The animatic - basically an animated storyboard - was due 3 weeks ago, and can't be done without a storyboard to animate.

So the clock ticks and the calendar turns and I'm starting to sweat more and more over the mid-July due date.


Argh!!
