Water life: wHERE RIVERS MEET THE SEA

Concept  |  Storyboarding  |  Animation

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) was seeking to develop a series of educational games focusing on estuaries that could be used as teaching tools in elementary and middle schools. My role as lead artist and animator was to create designs and animations that would be appealing to a younger audience while still portraying the estuary in a semi-realistic way for educational purposes.

I worked extensively in Flash CS3 to create the initial game's art including concepts, extensive cut scene animations, and UI. I also voice-acted the game's protagonist. Finally, I was asked to work on other projects in the series, including "Trash Smash" and "Water Life: Quest to Nest," on their website at http://games.noaa.gov/, as well as a museum kiosk installation.
