Animating pages
My task as the animator, was to bring Binta to life with my animations. With bouncy, exciting animations and movements, I aimed to really accentuate Binta's wall-bouncing personality and add to the wonder through her eyes and every little dance movement!

Process overview
Using 10fps, I decided to make this a frame-by-frame animation to add to the authenticity of the liveliness I aimed for. I used my own imagination to imagine exactly the moves Binta would make as an imaginative little girl; the still pictures of each page being my references!
