1. Gary Schwartz will be here on Thursday - we will meet at 10:30 on Thursday and Friday but they will be short; after the announcements we will split up.  Motion will be working on the styleguide with Gary, everyone else will go across the hall.
• Gary will be here from 10 am - 4 pm Thursday and 10 am to 1 pm Friday
• Student producers will split up so we can take notes
• Reviews will be done across the hall if any materials need review during the acting session
• Two things needed to be ready, if you're working on the style guide -
• Look at "Mr. Bean's Physical Comedy" posted by Barbara
• Re-watch film on physical comedy to prepare for tomorrow
• What to expect:
• We are going to listen to him have a self-dialogue so we can get inside Nebbish's head
• He will be going through the full animatic quickly to warm up
• Next, he will be going through every single shot
• Everyone's role will be to watch carefully and observe - this will be taped for you to go back and look at it later
• Hold off on suggestions and questions until the end of the session with Gary - he will be in character and will answer as if he is Nebbish
2. Regarding rigs
• Jason is working on rigging issues - will be meeting with Dave, Nick, possibly Kimberly and Stephen on the state of the weight paints, models, rigs
• By Friday morning, we should have a good idea of where we stand
3. Nebbish's apparel
• Costumes: 1) Sunburn and shorts, 2) Scuba gear
4. Wiki embedded calendars
• The student producers have set up embedded calendars in all the team wiki pages.  The login/password for this should be sent out soon.
