Where do we begin?

Are next project after Digital Layout Design is our Animation Patrice 02 and PDP. In basic terms, we are making a 30 second chase scene, which can be made in any form of animation (3D, 2D, 2.5D) and it is to be 30 - 40 seconds. We need to design scenery, characters (if its 3D we can choose free-to-use rigs) and storyboards etc.

For my project i want to keep interested and dedicated to the project so I'm going to probably try out after effects again as I had great fun trying out 2.5D cutout animation. Also with this form animation I have more control over the art style, scenery and characters. I want to go for a sci-fi monster theme with not too much suspense but more adrenaline and action.
