When VHL wanted to create a new grammar tutorial series they reached out to me for the art and animation. This 32 video series teaches grammar in a cool and fun way. Together, Alesha and I came up with a character named Zippy. A happy-go-lucky squirrel, Zippy makes learning fun. Zippy takes you through grammar basics while Zipping around the screen and sometimes acing out what’s being learned. Zippy keep the viewer engaged in the learning process.
We designed the series to be easy to view, with vibrant colors and abstract backgrounds, which is great for the creative side Zippy shows off when doing examples.
Below is a reel comprised of snippets from the 32 video series.
