The Week in Review

This has been an odd week for me as a producer. The challenge we usually face with documentation hasn't been a problem, everyone's been working hard, but it's clear we had one weak spot. It was me.

I make it a point to have all of my work done and ready to go as early as can be, but the animatic has been a struggle for me. I thought I needed to animate every slide, and it took significantly longer than I was expecting, let alone longer than it should have taken. I learned that I am definitely not an animator, and that sometimes I need to delegate tasks to others. This would have saved time, time better spent developing QA reports, interacting with the team, and working on other associated tasks.

This week, I will create my last iteration of the animatic, and work with the team to start recording audio for the trailer. Audio and UI development will be the core tasks for this week, along with level iteration, bug fixes, and injecting final art into our levels. We have QA testing for this Saturday, and a work meeting planned for this Sunday. The next week will have three QA tests as well.
