‘iNSiDE MY HEAD’

CBBC Newsround Special

Client: BBC - via ‘Made In Colour’

I was hired by Made In Colour to design the look of, and animate characters and effects in 2D. Animated in Adobe Photoshop.

See this project also on the ViS DEV page which documents the character design and animation style exploration.
