Animating for Cbeebies
If there are little ones in your house, you might already have seen the big new event of the summer in children’s television: The Let’s Go Club. Saturday mornings on Cbeebies are now filled with fun things to do, make and learn thanks to the show, not to mention some very weird dance moves which we can only applaud and take to the dance floor ourselves!
We’re happy to say that here at Chog Zoo Animation we
animated the “Fact Finding” segments of the show. We have undertaken the odd bit of broadcast
work in the past, but mainly title animations and pilot animations; this marks
the first time we’ve delivered full scenes of character animation for
mainstream broadcast television. We’re very excited to say the least. The show
is going down a storm too, The Let’s Go Club is
currently the most popular ‘Join In’ on the Cbeebies website, and the two
episodes that have aired so far have been featured as the Radio Times
'Children’s Choice'.
If you have young children, you should definitely bring them over to
the computer and check out the brilliant interactive website for the show.
While you can still watch the episodes on catch-up and
iPlayer, the fact finding segments are also on the website as clips. The links
for the first two are below and I’ll add the other episodes as they air each week. We feel that they only get better so look out for the new episodes airing on Cbeebies weekly at 9:30am on Saturday mornings.
