My submission for the 2020 Khan Academy Breakthrough Junior Challenge. All artwork, audio, animations and edits were done by me, and a making-of video will be available soon!
(More info below)
I started the animation process by creating storyboards in photoshop. My vector art was created in Adobe Illustrator, and imported into Adobe After Effects for the animation. I used Adobe Premiere to cut all the scenes together into the final animation. The whole process took about ~120 hours, over a time span of about two and a half months. (mid-April to late June)
