Starting production

Wing and Lauren took the bulk of the production as they were more confident with traditional animation and I was going to do all the post production. I did however want to do some production as I wanted to practice my animation skills.
I animated 3 storyboard panels from scratch on paper. I found some of it to be quite challenging I had not done any paper animating in a long time and struggled with out being able to preview my work like you can digitally animating. Although I realised paper animation was not for me I felt like its a good challenge as an animator and I should try more in future as it really improves both drawing and animation skills.
I found staying on model quite difficult. I realised however that keeping the original designs in front of me helped a lot so little details wouldn't go missing.

It was nice working on a project like this as there are often things I would normally try and avoid as an animator but this pushed me out of my comfort zone especially the scene where the bear climbs over the fence as the angle on the bear keeps changing although it could have been better I'm happy with my efforts and felt I improved along the way.
