Animated stories for Primary Ethics’ Bites series.

Bites is a series of specially designed bite-sized interactive video lessons produced by Primary Ethics. Each video encourages students to consider an ethical dilemma by presenting an animated story or scenario. Interweaved are questions from an animated teacher, and responses from their animated classroom, which invites a response and extends further dialogue to the viewers, the aim being to practise critical thinking, ethical reasoning and respectful discussion.

My role

For each Bites story element, my role was creating storyboards from the supplied scripts and producing animatics with them, then building asset lists for illustrators, and finally creating animations using these assets.

Below are two examples of my animations from their respective Bites story elements:
