Now that it has been 24 hours, I will share the shot that my work friends kept making fun of me for (and still do) ...

presenting

my over-rendered mangoes (at least for storyboard standards lmao)

Anyway, thanks to our Eric Hawkins for accurately and beautifully matching my intended lighting for these fruit, Ryan Donoghue for matching the perfect tree sim and movement, and our Animation Team at CG CG, for taking this shot of fruit that really needed to be like one frame and no color and making them shine, lmao.

Woops sorry if this was sent a while ago

But to answer the questions-

1) what did the various story teams do? - there were 3 Story Teams on JWCT (internally referred to as Team 1[Team Ankylosaurus], Team 2 [Team Raptor], and Team 3 [Team Pteranadon]). Each Team consisted of a Director, 3 Storyboard artists, and a Story Revisionist.

Once a Team would finish an episode, we'd then pass on the episode to our Supervising Director and Producers, Editors, and a Lock Revisionist to work on the very final animatic before sending it off to animation. This was our "Locke/Shipping" animatic (and no, not Shipping like that lol). That last animatic typically tended to last minute notes, timing/editing adjustments, and tweaks to acting.

2) Were they (the teams) assigned to different episodes or different characters? - All the episodes were split up between all 3 teams (team 1 took ep 1, Team 2 on ep 2, etc). That said, and this was up to the directors and board artists' discretion, certain board artists have certain interests, strengths, and affinities, so directors may hand specific board artists specific types of scenes that may/may not overlap with certain characters (like if I recall correctly, @tio-trile would often get a lot of dino-related sequences, so I remember complaining about never getting to really draw gia lol, and @natamouche-art getting a lot of Pyro, smoothie, and scar scenes like brooklynn running from red in ss2)

3) Was there any inter-team rivalry?
