Jen, in the interest of having some completed animation by the end of the year, you might consider staggering the modelling/rigging a bit. In other words, don't build all your models up front but maybe do half the characters (with their corresponding environments), then animate, then if you have time build and animate the other half. You could do all the preproduction - sketching for all characters, animatics for all sequences, all the audio - but do the production of one half at a time. Consider this option.
