== Per Act Differences ==

Creating a new layout file in Act I and Act III should follow the following steps. Act II may have similar steps to start, but it is possible the files might have more local than linked data.

== Steps ==

* Make sure you have [[Reference_desk|reference desk]] installed.
* Make sure you have [[Scene_layer_names|scene layer names]] installed.
* Create a new file, save it in scenes/act_n (where n is the act number). the filename should be of the form ansnn.blend (where nn is the shot number).
* Set the start and end frame based on the animatic. Change the default Scene name to ansnn
* Ensure the resolution is set to 2048x858, and set the file output options to h264 in every possible preset area.
* Ensure the framerate is 24 fps.
* In scene properties, add a new custom property named '''library''' with the value '''../../library.json'''
* save the file, then add and commit to SVN with the message "Initial commit of shot ansnn"
* Delete any default geometry and lights. You can use the default camera or create a new one.
* Using [[Reference_desk|reference desk]] add assets to the scene using the animatic as a reference for what you need. Delete any off camera portions if possible.
* Using the animatic as a reference, position and adjust the camera settings.
* If there is camera animation in the shot, key the camera. You can use the [[camera_shake|camera shake]] if needed.
* optionally, you can create initial poses for the characters, to match (more or less) the animatic.
