CBBC Blue Peter: Draw My Life – Mwaksy
There are many projects that we work on here at CC Animation Studio that bring us a great sense of accomplishment and professional pride, but it is rare that we also get to fulfil a childhood dream at the same time!
Project background
Artist Alexandra’s inner 8-year-old was jumping up and down with excitement to be working on this Draw My Life animation for Blue Peter presenter, Mwaksy. As a new presenter, the aim of the project was to introduce Mwaksy to the Blue Peter fans, showcasing her personality along with her life story.
Creating the animation
Alexandra chose a vibrant colour palette to match Mwaksy’s bright and enthusiastic personality, and also wanted to truly capture her likeness. As Mwaksy was a vlogger, watching her films generated plenty of source material to use and great facial expressions to choose from.
An extra element of this project was to record behind-the-scenes footage for a 'making of' section for the website, and also to be interviewed via Zoom by Mwaksy herself!
Further information
CC Animation Studio created four animations in this series, introducing Adam Beales, Lindsey Russell, Richie Driss, and, of course, Mwaksy, to the Blue Peter audience.
