At first, I was thinking about whether to set up my own team, but after much thinking, I decided to join other people’s team and be a member of the team. I’ve always wanted to work with someone who is a VFX major, so I found them.
We had two conversations this week:
First, we got to know each other and determine the theme.
Second ,we establish a public cloud disk, and the technical specifications and requirements of the project.
Part1 dialogue 1
Project: The group leader presents his project idea and vision. We discussed it and decided it was a viable project.
Exchange of information: We exchanged our curriculum requirements and adapted existing project ideas to each other’s specialty requirements.
Personal skills: We determine which parts of the task we are responsible for according to our personal skills and interests.
References and Themes: Our theme is a concept short movie about ancient myths. So far, we have a brief concept of the background, content and plot, and next week, we’ll start character design, costume design and camera design.
The second part of the animation style reference
We found some antique animation works for reference. Determine the overall effect and tone the project is intended to achieve. Meanwhile we found some martial arts moves for reference.
The third part, the technical specifications and requirements of the establishment project.
Since we are project cooperation of different departments, we set up the specification of file transfer at the very beginning, so as to avoid delay of project progress due to version problems in subsequent document handover process.

Part 6 Conversation 2
In the process of our communication, I found that the team leader was a mighty person. Maybe in the initial communication process, the result is not ideal. He has what he insisted. I have what I stand for. This led to a great deal of disagreement between us.
Finally, due to irreconcilable conflicts, I had to abandon the existing project and look for a new team.
