A good tutorial finally helped me understand paralleling backgrounds and how the camera tool works. For my winter animation I duplicated a lot of the backgounds to make it longer so I could pan to the side a lot.
That illustrator problem where only the visible layer on the dartboard is exported couldn’t-t be solved. I tried importing as document size and not layer size but still….

The downside of that is that you can kinda see where the duplicates start and end… that is the best I can do to make the edges look okay..

So far I’ve animated the background, the cabin light and smoke curling up. Now I need to add a light, to darken the scene and make eyes pop up. Next, incorporate the wolf into the scene without it moving..
Finally, I will need to attempt animating stars…
