Additional Notes...

Motion -
The motion team is responsible solely for their own motion files and they don't have to worry about shading, lighting, or FX. Their files should never have any lights or shaders in them., just the motion. By 4:00 every day, a copy of the latest motion file for current shots in progress should be placed in the top level folder for that shot.

Shading - Updates motion file between 4:00pm-4:30pm

Lighting - 4:30
Then the lighting team will copy this file into their own folders and update their work by referencing the motion, not exporting it. 

Lighting - By 7:00 every day, a copy of the latest lighting file should be placed in the top level lighting folder for that shot. 

Render/FX - Team will take over and produce final renders for review at dailies. Renders will be 1 day behind to allow Render and FX work during the day. The idea is that after dailies, the FX people will grab the latest lighting file (which will be the previous day's file) and copy it into the appropriate place in the Rendering folder. Before leaving for the day, the render people will fire off a render of their work and let it run overnight. Then the newly rendered frames will be assembled into a movie the next morning, in time for dailies. What needs to be done for the day's render will be determined during dailies, so there might not always be a full render every day.
