This is what we have been doing so far:
1. We threw out ideas as a group and came up with options.
2. After deciding on a basic story, we wrote a script and casted actors.
3. Then we shot video of the actors saying their lines. We did this three times because our first test was only sound and that didn't allow us to see mouth movements and the first video didn't sound right not being recorded in the right space. (that's why we do tests)
4. We edited the whole film with the live action acting parts and the parts we knew we wanted to animate all together.
5. Then we exported just the parts assigned to each object, i.e. the compact, the lip gloss, the hair iron, etc.
6. Since each actor had their own group of scenes all put together, we then put these video files into the animation software.
7. On to the bathroom space. We hooked the camera up to the computer, got the lights set up, and animated our dialog person by person, while watching our mouths from our original video. (pretty cool)
8. We then exported each finished group one at a time and added them to our film. (once again thank you for tests, the export process took a while)
9. Thursday and Friday we will be finishing animation furiously and adding sound effects and background sounds.
We are having a great time.
