Launch The Pandas!

Early on in the production process I realized that there was far too many animated elements in my work for me to be able to undertake them all on my lonesome. Coupled with the fact that I am not particularly skilled or interested in character animation as a field of study it was clear that outsourcing work and working primarily with cycles and looped animation was the only way to finish all the necessary pieces in time. Therefore I decided to animate all the pandas and bombers myself, the panda's moving on cycled presets and the bombers being animated on a per scene basis. Other elements such as the Pandabot destruction scenes and the pandas being shot were give to more skilled animators such as the illustrious and industrious James Daly and the flamboyantly dextrous Ben Hanmore, as it would allow me more time to focus on compositing and hopefully give the film a better overall finish (excelsior to you gentlemen; you didn't let me down!)
