AXXIS, Apprendre au XXIème siècle, is a Swiss online education platform offering courses to teachers of children from 4 to 11 years. We were asked to create an animated intro for their courses.

Working alongside the creative team at Harmonik agency, we helped bring their vision to life by directing the storyline for the course intro. As one of AXXIS’ goals is to prepare the next generation to the challenges of the 21st century, we focused on global warming themes.

We chose to highlight the key feature these courses offer, which is guiding the children through scientific investigations. As we follow the child running away from the forest flames, a teacher leads the kid with their torch to the root of the problem. Only then they are able to come up with suitable solutions. 

We were asked to use the organisation’s mascot as the main character. So as we teamed up with the brilliant artist, Mark Conlan, he adapted their design and transformed our storyboard frames into these final charming illustrations.
