Newb question for animators.
I'm thinking about filming a short movie and adding animation to it. The animation would be an animal. In my understanding this can be done, but I don't know to which level it can be done, i.e how pretty will it become? Is that entirely up to the animator hired for the job or will I have to consider type of background or the like while shooting to make it easier/harder for the animator to create a professional looking animation?
