Timetable / Progress

New Schedule Oct 09 +

I need a new achievable short-term schedule.  So here it is:

Mon evenings: Flash practice

Fri evenings: Sketching (Pencil / graphics)

Sun am: Site building / project building

Sun evenings: Reading

Extra sessions: Thursday 29th October – Project pannning/storyboard

 

Long-term:

December 09: Actions: Storyboard + Site started + Sketches complete

                           Training: Flash / After Effects / ?

January/February 10: Flash movie produced, editing ongoing

March/April 10: Finalising / editing Site

April/May 10 - Completion / final touches

 

 

Timetable

 

I intend to devote approximately 8 – 15 hours per week on actual design and creation of artwork, 4 hours per week learning technical aspects/software, 2 hours on reflective practice (utilizing my weblog: http://annaleiza.wordpress.com ), and a further 2 hours per week researching software and theory.  Additional time will be allocated as / when the project requires it, but this schedule is purely to enable me to begin the creative process with a clear understanding of how much time I need to devote to each area.  This timetable is of course, intended to be flexible, as it is expected that time allocation will change as the project evolves and I become more familiar with applications.
