Lots of work, so little time...the November Diary and December Plan

1. November was a beehive of activities - visit to IDC, media mentions and interviews, initiating the music production and getting one 3 minute sequence off the ground.
2. Work on the online store and payment gateway begins. Have reached out to a friend of mine to take over the store aspects of Punyakoti.
3. Work on breaking down the movie into smaller segments (inside a scene) is making good progress. This allows for better grouping and planning production. This will be a big talking point on 30 November. This came as a fallout during my meeting with the faculty at IDC 2 weeks back.
4. 30th November, a group of animators are meeting at the Press Club to see how we can take portions of the work on layout and animatics to the next stage. Hoping to complete animatics for 5 scenes in December. We have about 20 weeks to get there by April 2015.
5. December, I will be in KIIT, Bhubaneswar and am planning to share the project with the students and faculty there. My dream is to request KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences) to be part of the Punyakoti project. Wish me luck.
6. December will also see the characters design completed and work on the movie style comic book begin in right earnest.
7. Work on merchandising will start in December.
