While working with the incredible crew at Scholar, I got the chance to participate in the third iteration of Hannah’s story. It was time to take her and her classmates on an exciting new adventure to rebuild the world. This time, we dove deep underwater as Hannah and her friends traversed through coral landscapes, rescued a turtle, and even passed on her sea creature research to the next generation. Visualizing Hannah in multiple stages of her life allowed us to highlight different levels of LEGO Education products while utilizing the strengths of our design and animation team to portray the nuances of her growth. Once again, we leaned into a mixed-media style that combines colorful 2D animation and CG product-accurate LEGOs.
Hannah is a fearless leader and reminds kids to learn through failure, adventure, and play.
