Animating Process：
Create an animation file ➡️ Composite all scenes + props + characters (imported as references) ➡️ Use the time sequencer or split each shot into a separate file (hide unused scenes for easy modification) ➡️ Set camera movements (panning, static, follow) ➡️ Keyframe block animation based on the storyboard ➡️ Convert block animation to spline animation ➡️ Polish the animation ➡️ Done
Additionally, during the production process, I create some animations separately in a file, such as walk cycles, tail swings, and tongue movements. These animations can be saved as resources in an animation library ) and imported into the corresponding shots when needed.
walkcycle video：
I divided the animation works into several weeks, working on it while receiving feedback from George and making modifications.
I made some adjustments to the original storyboard.

I submitted animation shots and George made revisions to the animation on SyncSketch. Following an overall review and discussion between George and me, we refined five to six key shots, enhancing their intricacy. The animation details are provided below:
