Church Of England Project

I was lucky enough to work with the Church of England on a 2d animation project. The idea was to bring to life a book called “How to Pioneer” so that people could easily understand the message that was being told. The idea was to shorten the book into 5 key chapters and develop these into an animated series. I have had the pleasure of creating a five-part animated series to help advertise their new book ‘How to Pioneer’ written by David Male. The basis of the book is to help Christians follow and help others to find Jesus. I then had to replicate this message to an animated series and help portray the same feeling.

Script

For the script, I worked with the client who had a strong sense of direction and knew exactly what they were looking for which really helped to get things moving quickly.

Voice Over

Another very nice aspect of this project was the voice over, which was done by Ekene Oboko and really helped to set the tone for each animation.

Animation Style

For projects like this, the animation style can be anything the client desires, from simplistic to more detailed, each of the different styles have their pros and cons. The style the Church of England went for was a very fitting choice for what they wanted to portray, it’s a very simplistic style which works to tell a story but also allows for animated text to help hit home those important points.

Working Working with the Church Of England

Working with the Church Of England has been brilliant, communication has been very quick and they were very helpful with feedback to ensure I was always moving things in the right direction. The five films have now been launched and are currently being used around the world to help promote the series of books.
