General Updates - Pre-Rag Week Deadlines are on Schedule

So with Rag Week around the corner, we have only a few precious days to reach our pre-Rag milestones. But big progress has been made on all fronts.
The video footage has finally all been organized and converted and is now completely ready to go through and make a plan of which takes to use. Then they go straight to compression to into the application. Casting ads go up this evening for our final shooting to take place in 2 weeks, that of our commander figure in the narrative, Foster.
We have a working prototype app with 3D backgrounds and test video clips within. And it looks sweet.
We are compiling a list of all audio to be recorded the week after Rag Week so that we will have all assets needed for the final piece with 3 weeks from now.
And finally we have reached that point of progress with the Kinect that we were hoping for: We have a basic Flash Air program working with Kinect inputs. We also discovered the possibilities in working in Air for multitouch elements, so that even if, for any reason, the Kinect was to fall through, this provides more concrete confirmation that we can utilise multitouch with the alternative interaction method: the touchscreen using wiiMotes.
All looks good...
