During the first half of the week, the team prepared for our half presentation on Wednesday.

Joy and Sandra finished the environment for our demo.

Sheenu finished weight painting and prepared the character model for import to Unreal.

Rick continued working on trying out different VFX.

Tuesday worked on the presentation and continued taking a training course on virtual production in Unreal Engine.

The team presented on Wednesday and the feedback that day was mostly about our presentation skills rather than the project itself, which several of us were surprised by. Faculty wanted to hear the song, which we had left out due to fear of time constraints. Also, as the first team presenting on Wednesday, we came across as unenthusiastic about our project – which is far from the truth. We hope that in our final presentation that we come across more excited, which we believe will be easier to do as we will be showcasing our final product: a music video!
