Production log.
Week 1.
This week I have spent time looking over the brief that I have been given and coming up with idea's as a team.
Week 2.
This week we have started to share ideas and we have started to come up with some plans for a test show so that we can get an idea of how this is all going to work. we have also decided to try a virtual studio, I will be the one trying to make a virtual studio to use.
Week 3.
This week I have been working on a prototype virtual studio, I have gone for a moon base with a mining operation out the window design. I went for this design because It felt the most fitting for a VFX podcast where we will be talking about making effects and how it was all done.
we have also done a test filming using my back grounds.

Week 4.
This week we have had a meeting about the test filming, we came up with what to for each episode and what to do for a virtual studio. My task from the meeting where to make a VR on roller coasters VT and upgrade the virtual studio to make it look better.
I have spent most of my time researching VR on roller coasters VT and have decided to it about Galactica at Alton towers.
Week 5.
This week I have spent time working on the virtual studio and working on my VT. I have been setting up lights in 3Ds max for the virtual studio and the leaving it to render on a different pc so that I can keep working on my VT with a pc that is not lagging, this also speeds up the rendering time that is already supper long at 20 minutes per frame.
Week 6.
This week I have gotten feed back on my VT and virtual studio, from the feedback about my VT I just needed to change the back ground music and intro voice. For the virtual studio I need to add the new logo and change the colours scheme, I also had to send the model of the virtual studio to Jon because I could not make the final adjustments in 3Ds max but they could be made in blender.
Week 7.
This week we have been doing practice runs and finding problems with VTs and fixing them. There was a problem with the intro lagging but that will be fixed for when we film, there was also a problem with the virtual studio not wanting to work we spent time working on it but we could not get it to work.
Week 8.
This week we are filming I will be vision mixing for the first episode and working on a camera for the second episode. we have also fixed the virtual studio so that we can use it. I had some time as I was waiting and decided to open the into VT in after effects to see why it was lagging on the tricaster and found that the image size was too big, the video was too big for the tricaster so I suggested that it be changed to 1920 by 1080 so it would not lag.
When it came to filming I was the vision mixer for both episodes because the person who meant to do the second episode was not in.
over all it went well I made one mistake on the first episode where I triggered the VT too early. and on the second episode there was a small bit where I did not get instructions to change the camera for a small bit.
