I created a 2D animatic of the film based on a series of drawings and sketches of scenes that a member of the team and I had worked on.  This was a helpful base to animate from as it meant we could work out how many frames each scene would be as well as see what poses/camera angles we would be using in each shot. We used this info to make a shot list and apply that to a timetable so we each had a set number of shots to animate  for the film in order to make it within the deadline.
