We made 22 animations for BBC Learning aimed at Key Stage 1 and 2 students. Working with a big collection of brilliant animators, designers and storyboard artists to create some wonderful animations about Maths and Science.
How We Did It
It was really important to the BBC that the characters were spot on for the target age. Our original character designs…too young!
Some very messy scribbles later…magic!
We took these three cheeky shapes into the build phase and set the design for the production. We are pretty fond of these silly billies.
We worked through the 22 scripts with the BBC, working up a storyboard and animatic for each episode. Our very talented friend Greig Johnson recored the voice over for us, and off we went into animation!
