I am researching into Animation Backgrounds and Environments

Hello!

I am very new to this forum!

I am a 3D Modelling Student for Games and Media, and I am currently doing a module on research.

Our main topic is animation, but my chosen sub topic is backgrounds and environments!

I really want to learn how creators design and develop backgrounds in 2D and 3D.

I know that most start off with a simple storyboard process, then go onto refining those panels and colouring them.

But what I really want to know about is how they get seamless camera movements in 2D animations, such as in most anime pieces.

I am currently just about to actively research the new box office hit, 'Your Name'. But I am not even too sure what I am looking out for!

Any help is hugey appreciated :)

thank you again!
