Tiddalik

I worked with artist John Patten’s drawings to bring this Gunai Kurnai version of the famous traditional Aboriginal story of Tiddalik to life for the Children’s Gallery at the Melbourne Museum. I storyboarded the narrative and John drew scenes and characters which I then adapted for animation. The story is delivered in an interactive touch panel with animated holding frames and a button to advance encouraging kids to be more active listeners.
