1, 2, 3... can you count? Learning to count is one of the most important early skills for children, and MarcoPolo Learning, a global leader in ed-tech and a Kidscreen Award winner, asked us to help teach it. With the expert guidance of Dr Nermeen Dashoush, we produced 20 fun, educational shorts, over an hour of content in all. They teach children to count from 1 to 10 and in 2s, 5s and 10s, recognise basic shapes, draw simple animals and write numbers correctly.
We built a tabletop camera set-up and filmed the illustration process in live action. From there we used a mix of software to bring the drawings to life, including Blender, Toon Boom and After Effects. The result is a delightful blend of live action, animation and learning, and it was a joy to make. We are looking forward to inspiring more young minds through creative, educational content.
