I got this project during my internship in Connective Learning Initiative(CLIx) Program. CLIx is a Program in collaboration between the Tata Trusts (India), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, Mass., USA) and Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS, Mumbai, India). It aims on providing educational opportunities to children through the integration of technology.

This task required to create short animations for an audio visual story under the English
project. The animations were to be created from the single illustrations (made by the
illustrator) to portray the specific actions that mimicked the audio.

The audio visual story is a part of series of stories, ten in total. The stories takes place in a
village around three main characters- Sahir, kansu (belonging to a small town Chotapur)
and Zo (Belonging to a city Badapur).

The stories are supported by an audio narrative and five illustrations depicting main actions of the story. The animation work mainly consisted of adding elements, transitions and puppet movements to the images according to the narrative.

Illustrations provided for the story:

The characters in every image were divided into separate layers where the action
was to be performed (hands, feet, head etc) and anchor points were set so as to move or
rotate them in a particular direction. A simple minimalistic animation was done in the panels to show the action.

Animated visual story:

This is one of many stories I animated for CLIx as a part of my internship.
