Coming to design this project was both interesting and a challenge because it could be taken in all kinds of directions depending on the theme. While my theme dealt with the humane society when it was storyboarded, I needed to further refine and deal with a single idea. Otherwise it would have gone in some other direction that would not have made sense and feel vague at the same time. So in those regards I choose to go with no-kill shelters.

After going with that theme, the next step was to look for audio and create the assets that would be used for the animation. Audio went well for all that can be said the assets however took a little longer than I would have thought because of ideas of what would work for the animation. Cat and dog were already planned out to be within the animation along with a person. This part of the animation took a little longer because I was using a tool I rarely used before, the puppet pin tool. This was great and annoying to deal with because if I moved one pin then the rest would deform. I worked out what needed to be ironed out later on in regards to moving them with the timeline and not making too many pins for me to deal with. Another thing that needed to be worked out was timing for the voice and animation in which some parts needed to be shown longer. With some rearranging of some assets timings and a re-done audio I think I got it solved.
