Minutes for 16/01/12

Attendance
All present.

Business from last meeting
Agree upon a level theme – everyone agreed on the concept of a malevolent building and themes of piping, rust and degradation

Produce 3 concepts / paintovers each – some team members did not present 3 concepts, but altogether the team had enough visual materials for discussion

AGENDA

Confirm everyone's successful use of SkyDrive and Facebook
No problems, but James has no Internet at home. He’ll need to be kept up-to-date by other means.

Review team roles
New team roles have been assigned following the suggestions in the project brief
James – Technical Art Lead
Art Director – Aymen
Inez – Producer
All team members are artists.

Discuss the team blog and its use
Blog address is http://famousfiveproject.blogspot.com/ (nice one Aymen), and posting is open to all team members. We will record each stage of production as well as minutes from meetings.

Discuss concepts
All concepts were generally received well. Team has a strong sense of the visual style of the level, and ideas for the level structure are starting to come together from the concepted locations.

Propose new schedule
New schedule has been devised with Mike Pickton’s help. Team agreed today that the new schedule sets clearer directions and deadlines, and it’ll be kept.

Any other business
James suggested making a list of any special effects the team was interested in having, so that he can make a start on simple tech tests. The list will be made with input from all team members at tomorrow’s meeting.
