Since the pre-production I was most interested in the environment design, working on the environment style alongside Signe Cold while Louis worked on the storyboards and the other teammates took over the design of the characters, animals and props.

Here's the research that I've done:

Although I didn't model or texture props other than the trees, I dressed several sets and did matte painting for all shots; with my main shot for both set dressing and comping being this one:

I also did the post-comp of the following shots:

(set dressing of the first of these shots was done by Signe Cold, animation by Kristina; set dressing of the second of these shots by me, animation by Kristina and Maria)

Maria and Federico designed and chose the color scheme of all the characters (which I colored to have an idea of how they would look like in 3D)

(the background of the second image was done by Signe Cold)

Before we went into modelling of the characters, I roughly sculpted the main character so that we could see the transition from 2D to 3D:

The lead character was then modelled by Ebbe and textured and rigged by Signe Tveitan, the drummer character was modelled by Signe Tveitan, textured by Ebbe and rigged by me, the basist, only female member of the band, was modelled and textured by me and rigged by Ebbe, the monkey was completely done by Signe Cold and the parrot and the lizard by Henrik.

By the end of the project Maria and Federico designed a poster, while I painted it:
