Process
I designed and developed this animated video by:
Converting text I wrote for the Critical Thinking lesson into a Storyboard to determine scene layouts/features, color schemes, special effects and characters.
Building each scene with Powtoon to bring the lesson to life through animation by meticulously choosing each character, shape, background, effect, text layout, position of each element, and music from the tools available with the application.
Reviewing and editing the video as each scene was built to ensure timing, transition and overall presentation matched the expectations laid out with the Storyboard.
