When I originally started animating each character individually, I animated one character for the whole length of the clip and moved on to the next character, which I immediately found problems with not only the interactions between characters but also the space on the stage they occupied. Much of the time when I animated the interactions, for example the letter 't' pushing over the letter 'c', I found that another letter would pass in front or behind the other letters obscuring the vision of the animations resulting in visually nonsensical movements - you could see the effects of the actions but not the cause.
I instead have been animating each letter about a second at a time and avoided having letters occupying the same space and as a result have started coming out with a clearer animation, and crisper inferences between the letters, which are also easier to add sound to.
