After the New Year, wanted to create a schedule for production, to do this I needed to figure out how many scenes there are in the animation, and how many shots there are in each scene. While I was finding this out, I decided to time each shot to see which would take the most time to animate. Overall there are seven different scenes in the animation, not including; the opening quote, the end credits and the logo at the very end. Below is the list of each and every scene and shot in my animation, all timed with a short explanation of whats happening on the screen:
