Disney’s
‘The book of once upon a time’
A children’s TV show we made for Disney Jr AUNZ. Children at home were invited to join our little storytellers as they experienced the magic of Disney first hand with the Book of Once Upon a Time.
My role as the Head of Layout Design was to create the overall visual style for the series, within the pitch brief of paper-cut animation environments for an audience of 3-6 year olds.
I then illustrated and built the vector assets for approximately 30 environments, which were then placed into 3D space by Scotty and animated by Pete.
I also etched and repaired any assets we used from the original book artwork.
The Book of Once Upon a Time (S3) was nominated for Best Children’s TV Show in the AEAF Awards 2019.
