Overview
At first glance our overview page follows the standard layout, the one change I made was adjusting the navigation bar to fit our project's needs. A few to make note of are...
​
Review: For quick and easy access of our playlist for class dailies.
People: To see only those who are a part of this project
Project Overview: I placed a few widgets in here to countdown to our Proof of Concept Deadline and a graph that displays the status of all assets.
Schedule
I designed this page so that it would be as accessible to artists as possible as the goal of this page is for the artist to know their schedule.
​
Few notable features:
Design Page feature
Conditional formatting (rows turn dark green when status final)
Summary (percentage of final assets)
Phases (Start-end of quarters and breaks)
Assets
I designed this page layout so I could make more use out of the space on the assets page.
​
Highlighting pipeline steps and their current status being the most major addition. Additionally I have the overall start and end date of assets.
Once again, in this section you can see the phases as this assets production timeline stretches across several quarters.
​
Downstream Dependencies: This helps not only with scheduling but giving a great visual of how crucial it is for tasks to be completed in a timely manner.
Sequences
For sequences, I went and heavily customized the page to make it as easy to understand as possible.
​
All thumbnails are the color keys which will help us get a grasp on what the final look of each shot will be, once compositing is complete then the thumbnail will be replaced by a composited image.
​
The status is set to in progress once it has been started in a 3D environment (when the layout has begun).
​
My favorite custom feature of this page is the pipeline step status. This is excellent for quick access to what the statuses are regarding certain shots. Additionally, they are in a rainbow order to help be easier to read.
Shot Task Template
To help make things quick and easy on my end, I created a template for all the possible tasks a shot could require.
Shot
This is what the shot template looks like in action. There is a clear understanding of what quarters certain steps of the pipeline will be complete, and if one due date is pushed, it's downstream dependencies start dates will automatically be pushed.
