Lunatics Pre-Production Wiki

The multiple wiki design proved too difficult for us to maintain, so we've streamlined to just one wiki to be used for pre-production of "Lunatics" episodes (currently just the pilot, "No Children in Space"). Fan/audience content will be moved onto our Plone server if it's not already there. Production files -- i.e. the files that are actually used to generate the episodes -- will be submitted or migrated to our Trac-based Production Repository.

There will often be SPOILERS here, so if that bothers you, feel free to go back to the main Lunatics website.

Most of this wiki is closed or "non-public" in the sense that you have to be a logged-in user to read it. However, membership in the project is open to anyone who is interested. Please read the Contributing to Lunatics before making any edits to this wiki, however.

Fundraising and Production Planning

• Milestones

• Website Planning

• Rapid Animation Software

Crowd-Funding

• Phase I Kickstarter for "Character and Pre-Production Art" was successful!

• Due to a private communication with the developers, it seems we won't need to do another Kickstarter to support the software development work on Pyppet. We donated $100 out of our Phase I Kickstart to support the project (basically, we paid for an experimental controller). I will keep following this to see how this affects our other requirements. There is also some pretty interesting stuff going on with motion-tracking in the Blender Project Mango Open Movie project which may be useful to us, and I'm also following progress on "Monet", a motion-capture system for facial animation.

• Phase II Kickstarter for "Modeling and Production of the Pilot" - TBA. A few people have asked me about setting up a "modeling sprint", similar to the process on the Blender Open Movies -- I'm looking into how best to set this up.

• Phase III Kickstarter for "Voice Acting, Post-Production, and Mastering of the Pilot" - TBA
