[Q] Making a scene to animate in

Hello all, I’m currently making an animation. I’ve modeled all my characters and now I’m onto making an outdoor scene to animate them in. However I’m not sure how to go about it, do I make a large plane and put all the outdoor bits on that or should I make little bits of scenes and put backdrops on, or is there some other way? Help will be much appreciated.

What you need is a plan. Make storyboard:

This will define all the camera shot and background props you need to make. Normally you set the camera up per storyboard with main character. And then build back ground props as it show up in camera scene. Nothing more.

Thank you, I’ll do that.
