NRT Carbon Cartoon Production meeting Thu, 11 Jul 2024

The meeting covered the key aspects of animation work, including rotoscoping, lip-syncing, coloring, and scene building, which were distributed among the animators. Each animator receives the previz, which provides character shapes, movement, and shot framing. The animators are then required to refine the character outlines using the underlaid reference images from the previz, ensuring the movements are smooth and the lip-syncing is accurate, including detailed facial features like eye movements, frowns, and expressions. Following this, each animator colors their characters and constructs the assigned scenes, typically about 12-15 scenes per animator.
Additionally, the schedule of work and payment days were discussed. The project starts today, Thursday, July 11, 2024. The deliverables are scheduled as follows:
Week 1: Rotoscoping
Week 2: Lip-syncing and facial matching
Week 3: Coloring and scene building
Week 4: Feedback and corrections.
Payments will be made after one week and at the end (about 4 weeks later) upon successful submisson of the work.
