ROLE
Art Director
DESCRIPTION
The College Board launched a series of 32 animated videos to play alongside the AP Computer Science A class. This was the organization’s first attempt at character animation, and I led the art direction for the entire project. This animated series centers on four different stores in a fictional town called Instantiation Springs. Each video depicts everyday problems the store owners encounter and shows how they resolve them using coding skills. By placing abstract concepts in a realistic, story-driven setting, the series helps students gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

THE PROCESS
All 32 videos were divided into five batches, with an average of seven videos per batch and a five-week timeline for each batch. Because of this tight schedule, I adjusted our production process to better meet the team’s needs. Above is a breakdown of how each five-week production cycle was structured.
