The most efficient way to animate the Boar, was to have a separate layer for the Body, Head, Ears, Eyes, and Phonemes. This made the whole process much easier. The animating was done in Photoshop which is what I am currently the most comfortable with.
Having everything split into the appropriate groups made the animating less stressful, because it was so much easier to keep track of all of the different layers. I was using the pencil drawings of the environment as reference so that I knew where the characters would be placed. Each character would be rendered out separately, so I focused on getting the Boar complete before starting on the Robin.
Emma and I were making the time to show each other our progress to make sure everything was consistent. Everything began to go very smoothly which is what we wanted. Creating the digital fills for the specific body parts, was also quite time consuming, however it took a lot less concentration from the animating, and it actually became very therapeutic.
