I'm amazed that I've managed to do so much for this, I didn't think I'd get anywhere near finishing it but I have animated all of the shots and made backgrounds for them all too. The main thing I didn't have time for was the keying, so in some shots parts of my lion clip out of the shot or thee rigging is showing up, but it doesn't take away from the film too much.
It would have been nice to have something composed to this piece as well but I never had the time to ask anyone and altered the timeline from the animatic anyway so it would have been difficult for a composer to work with. I ended up putting the end of the song Aguas da Amazonia: Japurá River over it because I felt like it had the right tone and pace to it. It does well with my animation but it doesn't fit perfectly.
I'm pretty happy with this submission though, I've learnt a lot about stop-motion puppet animation, making, and After Effects to create the whole thing.
Here are some of my favourite stills:
