Kenya Farmers
3d/2D educational animations for small farmers in Kenya
Lucy Chickens
John Mango
Lucy's Brooder
Beatrice Calf
These are short versions of four educational videos developed and produced by Homy Animation, through Xenium Production, for an NGO supporting small farmers in Kenya and other African countries.
Starting with the client's voice-over text and a short briefing, we developed concepts and visuals, created characters and environments, and produced animation and graphic effects.
Each is a separate project, all were operated with very limited budgets, and due to lengthy gaps between approvals, each production took an extended period to complete.
Ultimately, the outcome received highly positive feedback from both the client and, more important, local farmers. The videos have proven to be an effective supplementary tool for field agents working with local communities.
Although the audio was originally produced in English, it has since been translated into several languages spoken across Africa, such as Swahili, Luo, Tumbuka, and even French.
