For the character rigging process we opted to use Bendy Limbs rig from Eye Desyn – a real life saver which allowed us to quickly create a familiar, malleable, user friendly character workflow.

After dabbling in 2D and Cel tests we opted to go for a fully 3D process to allow for character consistency and dynamic camera movement that could easily be tweaked on the fly. The 2D tests were still super helpful as a reference and building block for the 3D animation.
