It was important to find the right balance between dark and light in these outside scenes. In the time-lapse videos for both you can see me trying out different amounts of shading.
In the Garden time-lapse video in particular you can briefly see my original plan for the characters to walk diagonally across the screen (shown by a white arrow), this idea was changed to have them going horizontally across the screen after a discussion in a tutorial to make the animation process slightly easier.
