[Sprint 5] Update

Production Updates

This week we focused on implementing production into our scrum team. Meetings were a bit long and chaotic but we learned and refined process for next week. Not only that but since we were incorporating production into scrum, we also had to take a bit of an extra workload on production due to aiming for min of 3 videos a week for season 4 as well as Matthias being out with Covid last week.

Wrote Scripts for 3 episodes
Wrote Video Beats for 3 episodes
Purchased & Prepped 3 Videos
Scouted and confirmed climax location
Released one video
Started editing episode 17.1 & 17.2 (Episode 17 was split into two upcoming episodes)
