Educational Animation Project : Cirque (provisional title)

It is always more effective to have two projects in development concurrently. The reasons for this are generally to allow time for both projects to develop and potentially inform one another. The conceptual work seems to progress much more quickly this way. It was decided to develop a science education animation project aimed at 11-13 yrs. It is intended that Cirque will be conceived, developed, created and produced in-house for the education market. This is in the very early stage of development at the moment. Research and development into japanese print making, armature building and concept design is under way at present. It is the intention to produce a pilot for this market. It is understood that research will be necessary to establish a clear understanding of the audience, although having two children in the age bracket, having taught at this level and having access to a number of science teachers certainly helps. It is also important to understand how this work may be commissioned.
