Sketch Squad Weekly Update: Deadline week

Sketch Squad Weekly Update: Deadline week

Well, hello again to everyone in the Sketch squad group as well as everyone who is reading these blogs. Well after a whole semester and 6 weeks, it has reached the week of the deadline to the project. According to the calendar the due date for the work in progress of the final project hand-up with anything else being handed up the night before the presentation itself in two weeks time. So let me give a little rundown on the progress of where my group is currently at this week

COMIC:

So Let me start with what we originally started off our project with which was our graphic novel. As of now we have it all laid out, the story has been written, the pages have been illustrated and coloured and we have a rough print of it sorted out. In terms of a more together physical copy we are near the completion of that now we just have to receive one more reply back from the printers about that but other then that we have it all completed.

Website: 

Now as I mentioned before in a previous blog that Adam and Nathan E have been working along on making a website about our project and the group and from what I have gathered is that we have it all near completion. I spoke with one of them just recently and he confirmed to me is that their is only one part of the site just left to code and it should be good to go.

Video:

Lastly in terms of the project workload, we decided to add a prologue video to our project that will also be an illustrated and narrated reading of our comic, done panel by panel, page by page to better emphasise what story we are trying to tell. The prologue video was filmed by myself and Dillon and the entire video was edited and worked on by yours truly which took I'd say about two to three hours to sync up the voices with the video and to make sure that it doesn't sound off and also to make sure that each panel has enough time to be shown so that they can take in all the hard-work that we put into this project and that Four and a half minute video can be seen here on Vimeo.

Group Morale:

Just before I head off I want to discuss just how the group has been in this last week. as we have been on a planned out schedule over the last few weeks,  I believe that from this week that we have been on top of things and that everything is all good and calm. We seem to b all good in relation to Group project but I think it's more of the whole other modules that have people in a headlock more then everything. As for me well I haven't had a break from just college work, college, all of these countless assignments and balancing a retail job that changes my schedule every week and have me in on all different days, it would be nice to actually have a day to myself for once because my energy is completely drained right now and everything being added on again is not helping my mental state (when it was already in a rough patch for the last while and still is) but I somehow manage.

in the end I believe that we have everything all together and I feel by the end of I'd say Wednesday that we should have everything together and uploaded for the final upload. We already have the work in progress uploaded and we shall get started on the powerpoint in no time and maybe the booklet at the same time but only time will tell on that part.

Cheerio!!!
