Phase 2 Phonics

Animation

Tentacle's second batch of super exciting phonics. We delved into another 16 animations for the next phase of phonics, phase 2. There are 44 sounds in all, some made with two letters, in Phase 2 children focus on learning the 19 most common single letter sounds.

This phase has introduced some catchy songs and longer animations covering entire letter sets, have a peek into some new wierd and wonderful environments!

Project Journey

The Challenge

Welcome to another world of Phonics! We wanted to create another batch of animations to sit well with the previous Phonics Phase 3 animations. Keeping them exciting, engaging and a pleasure to watch for any audience.

Why not have a look into how Tentacle brings these characters to life, whether its design, animation or audio, these are all essential parts to create the exciting Phonics delivarables.

We wanted to keep the format that would reflect the way Phonics is taught in school. Using a see it, hear it, say it model of learning as well as keeping it exciting along the way!

The Solution

With the phonics designs developed through phase 3 we wanted to keep within the same parameters but giving the viewers more variety. We added in new wizards and environments to spice things up!

We wanted to have two wizards stand out aswell as be able to conjure in the learning objectives as the videos progress. We designed the wizards in vector used a stroke to make them and their actions stand out from the background.

We introduced a variety of new environments, from a pond all the way up to the moon!

Below are how the initial sketches translate into final vector renders of the scenery.

Another exciting part to the project is the audio, an essential part to the process to bring all the elements together. Below are some complex rigs and layering showing you all that goes into the soundscapes and songs.
