I went out to shoot more photo/video reference of the forest and I am now working on integrating those photos into my storyboards. Having photos with the specific camera angles I'm going for in this boarding stage will help me out a lot when I go to paint my backgrounds for the final film.
My voice actors have been chosen!

Trees I will be reusing often in my backgrounds.



Starting rough animation.
Testing out a potential color scheme change for the first big point of conflict in the film.


First shot of my film at final output. All of my backgrounds are now finished.
Figuring out layers of animated lighting in this scene.
I have all the lines from my voice actors and I'm now in full rough animation mode.

Decided on the type of bird in the film - the Northern Flicker.
Back from winter break and back to work. Roughs are coming along!
Rough animation is now 100% complete! Here's a promo video I cut together with some of my roughs.
A trailer with some finished shots and a preview of the score that is being written by Tension on the Heartstring. Almost there!
