Kiribati

The Behind scenes of Kiribati production

About

Kiribati is a animated feature length, made in San Luis Argentina. The studio behind the film is Ideas Fijas, which began using proprietary software, and switch to Blender some years ago. And fell in love with it.

The Production

The production is spliced in several areas:

Production

Search for money for the movie
Make sure the money is going to last
Organize the tasks for other areas

Direction

Film directors
And writers
Storyboard
Editor

Art

Conceptualize things
Model
Texturize
Shade
Rig

Layout

Assemble the shots
Make the final camera movement
Setup Stereo

Animation

Animate

Lightning & Composition

Light
Compo

Technical

Make all work
Ensure the files are ready to pass from one area to another
Render

The Workflow

In a technical point of view:

Based on Open Movies structure
Local and Remote artists work in the same way
For a middle size studio (30 artists)

Using SVN as version control system
Using TACTIC as task manager
Using Wiki as document manager
Only one .blend file per shot
The same file moving from Layout to Animation to Lightning to Compo
Linked assets
Rigid stable structure, to minimize errors
IRC as communication channel

File Management

We use [SVN http://subversion.tigris.org/] for file versioning, on Windows we use TortoiseSVN, on Linux we use KdeSVN, on OSX command line.

Pros:

Tracking versions
Ensure the working linked files

Cons:

Don't work for edition stage with Premiere(Premiere touch media files!!!)
Don't work for big files (Concept art)
Don't have global ignores (.gitignore)

Task Management

We use [TACTIC http://www.southpawtech.com/tactic/features/] for task management.
