Animating Background characters

I have began animating the background characters for the fight scenes between maynard and blackbeard. I have never used the paper cut out style of animation before, and although I found it difficult to get used to at first, once i got used to it i really enjoyed it. The main challenge was getting in enough variation of movements, and if i had more time id like to go through the animation again and add more details, such as more movement in the head/arms of the characters.
*Unfortunately my background characters were not able to be used in the final animation due to a problem with rendering and an error the file caused. At this point in time we dont have time to fix this and re render the entire animation so we will have to leave them out, however i intend to fix this for the screening and for my own use after handin. I am disappointed but still got experience with paper cut out animation i wouldnt have otherwise had because of this.
