Overview

Continue shooting from the initial footage recorded in week 10. Bring your script or action outline, storyboard or animatic, shot list, props, and available digital assets. Use the first recordings to decide which setup changes will help and which shots you can complete today.

Four XR Studio sessions remain, including today. Use them to build and refine environments, make physical props, record footage, and improve your individual edits. On set, check the camera image, lighting, background, and sound. Record the main actions that are ready and review each take before changing the setup.

Share production roles and footage. While another group uses the stage, develop props, prepare sound, assist a classmate, or begin your own edit. Each student writes their own three progress reports and creates their own final edit.
