Idea
Allan Carr, an assistant producer for Grease was given $5 mill. to produce a sequel after Grease was released in June 1978 and made almost $9 mill in the first weekend and $395 mill worldwide to date. This idea was probably instantaneous and didn't require much process, materials, or a location. -

Script
Ken Finkleman was hired to create the film basically from scratch. Unfortunately the writer for grease passed away in 1980. I would assume he wrote from home or an office with a pencil and paper. He probably outline large events for the plot and then filled in the middle while he went. I'm guessing it took about 2 years, give or take, as he wasn't finished with the script when filming began. -

Storyboard
I am guessing the storyboard took about a month to create. But, since Ken Finkleman wasn't finished with the script I don't know how that would affect the timeline. I would assume they used pencil and paper, maybe even had an artist that helped with the storyboard. People involved I would guess ALlan Carr the producer, Patricia Birch the director, and Ken Finkleman. I would imagine there were lots of suggestions and discussion and it took place in California. -

Recording
The filming took 58 days to complete. Most of the scenes took place in Excelsior High School in Norwalk California. There was a large cast and crew involved. I can imagine they used cameras and microphones, and probably much more equipment in filming. I am guessing they had a scene list and they filmed that scene until it was right and then moved on. -
Period: to
Editing
I couldn't find much information on the editing process, but I'm guessing it also took place in California by editing specialists. They used some sort of software, though I have no idea what. I would assume it was mostly just putting the pieces together to create the film. I guessed it took around 2 months, but depending on the technology it could have taken any amount of time. -
Finish
The film was finally completed and released to the public. There weren't really people or programs directly involved in this step. I would assume the film was released to movie theaters across the country. It probably took a month or maybe longer then before the film died down.
