I rarely animate from scratch and improvise how the subject moves so this was one of the more challenging parts of animation. Once I'd started, the process was quick and easy but i'd been so used to rotoscoping that this was out of my comfort zone. After looking at pictures of river boats I did a basic sketch of the boat from behind and scanned it and used it as a template to draw over, I did the same from the background. Rather than drawing each individual frame id copy and paste the boat in and gradually make it smaller giving it the illusion that its travelling away from us. It ended up being far quicker than i'd thought so I ended up adding colour and sound making it more interesting.
