Task list

I thought it might be a good idea to post this list of tasks here to keep me more oriented. This week I have been too busy with a VFX project to work on anything else, so I have to do my remaining nine hours (one hour session used for CV assessment) during the weekend. To ease into it, I start with doing research for the showreel storyboarding task. Anyway, here is the task list in its entirety:
