Samsung Scratch Coding Tutorial – Storyboarding, Rigging & Animation
The Brief
Ekino commissioned me to produce an animated tutorial for Samsung’s Scratch coding platform, aimed at introducing programming to young learners. The client provided the script. I handled everything from storyboard through final composited delivery.
The Approach
I worked through the full production pipeline on this project. Starting from the provided script, I built the storyboard, then rigged all characters in Moho before moving into animation. After Effects handled motion graphics, transitions, and final compositing. The animation needed to be clear enough for children to follow as an instructional tool while staying visually engaging. Feedback rounds with Ekino shaped the pacing and instructional timing throughout.
Tools and Techniques
To create the animated tutorial, I utilized the following tools and techniques:
- Moho: For character rigging and animation.
- After Effects: For motion graphics, transitions, and final compositing.
- Script Analysis: To ensure the animation followed the narrative and educational objectives.
Challenges and Solutions
One of the key challenges was ensuring the animation was both educational and entertaining for children. To address this, I focused on creating vibrant visuals, smooth transitions, and clear instructional elements. Regular feedback from the client helped refine the animation to meet their expectations.
The Result
The completed tutorial successfully introduced Scratch to young learners in an engaging, accessible format. Samsung and Ekino were satisfied with the delivery. The project demonstrated the full scope of my production pipeline, from boards to final export, on a tight brief for a global client.
