My Zilla light switch idea

Toying with thoughts on how to best animate Zillas light switching to find shortcuts, but still resemble good animation.

My ideas are the following:

1. I'm going to create one of the old fashioned switches ( the metal ball shaped switches). I think this will be easier to flick on and off, instead of pressing it in, as that will take far more frames to animate, and in turn longer to render.
2. To save time I am going to just make one cycle of animation, and then in after effects we can just repeat it. (this will halve the rendering time it would be otherwise).
3. As there is no voices, and Zilla can't say "Zilla the light switch isn't working". I have thought of the idea to add a small wall lamp and have her looking at it when switching on and off the switch, as if to say she's trying to get that lamp working.
