Software
I'm excited about trialing a now-free program called "CreaToon 3.0" for this project. I understand it is a very basic program, but I only intend on using it for the character animation.
I've been using After Effects for the general composition of my shots, and Photoshop to illustrate everything. After Effects could be used for character puppet-animation, however the layering system might become a little overwhelming. After Effects is ideal for animating props, and compositing the character inside the scene, but if I can minimise the workload (plus limit how much AE has to carry - it tends to become slow with too many layers, I always tend to push it too far) then I will be happy.
