The way that I saw the Bananaphone animation was that the characters themselves didn't look like organized shapes, but more like someone drew them by hand either on a device or by hand. But then these drawings were then plugged into some sort of program that organized them into an animation (like Windows MovieMaker).
Now I will proceed to explain (to the best of my ability) how I will bring Shannon's drawings to life... I will COMBINE the art of flip books WITH the art of digital animations!
I haven't yet proposed this idea to Shannon (seeing as I can be a bit scatterbrained and forgetful sometimes), but I will ask her for her opinion as soon as she gets back.
Shannon will email me the pictures of the characters on a white background so that I can eliminate the background entirely on PowerPoint. Then I will arrange the characters the way that they should be on the slide of the PowerPoint and email her back with a request for another view or position of that character. Shannon can use a sketching app and alter that character just a little for me and send the second picture back to me and so on.
So in other words, Shannon will be drawing everything in the movie (but the task will not be way too taxing with the help of the Sketchbook X app and others) and I will be arranging the pictures and putting them on slides of Microsoft PowerPoint to make the animation factor of it.
Sorry, if this is still a bit confusing, but hopefully, things can be clarified more after I've begun and there are examples of it.
