- Well-named asset .mb files for all props, sets, and characters in the production that may be referenced. Even if these are lacking something still such as finished textures, etc., they should be complete enough to reference in another .mb file.
- Have layout and modeling work together to generate a scene file for each scene in the script where all of the other assets are referenced and well-organized and named in the outliner. These should be tested for rough animation and rendering as well.
- Pre-lighting completed based on these scene files.
- Layout dept. generates a .mb scene file for each shot in the storyboard/shotlist where the props and characters are blocked as well as the shot-camera keyframed for its composition and movement.
- Shot assignments and files named well and accessible for all of the class for animation to begin.
- Discussion of a revision and approval cycle for the shots by the animation department.
- Plans for final lighting and rendering (probably done by each individual with supervision of those departments) and submission to editorial.
- Plans for sound, music, and the final edit.
