Adjusting for remote work
Halfway through this project, winter break started. We suddenly found ourselves working while in different cities.
My team needed a system to enable us to collaborate while remote, using non-collaborative software. Pre-pandemic.
So we could work together over break, I introduced an “assembly line” asset system to the team. For each scene, someone would conceptualize, hand off to an illustrator, then to an animator.
The file hand-off system allowed us to all work simultaneously plus leveraged each teammate's individual strengths.
