Process and Equipment Write Up

Process:

Equipment:

The only equipment that i used other than the MacBook was a Mouse because i found it alot easier to control after effects with and it reduced the strain that was being put on my wrist by using the trackpad and also used Headphones so i can listen to the audio myself without distracting other people.

Animation in Current Trends

With kids becoming more intelligent at younger ages, i believe that my Animation will fit it into current trends because it's educational but also very entertaining. The whole purpose is to teach children about Tools and how they are used and even in which scenarios. With the Interactivity and adventure of Dora the Explorer and the Tools from Handy Manny (2 very popular children shows) combined together, it should be very successful within the young age of today.

The channels i would put Tool Time on are either Disney Channel, or Nick JR, it would be shown in the morning in-between 6 to 8 AM and after 4pm in the afternoon.
