This animation, crafted for the RTeach Institute, demonstrates my expertise in educational animation and storytelling. The video introduces the RT3T™ kaupapa (methodology), utilizing clear and engaging visuals to convey complex educational concepts in an accessible way. The skills used include:

  • Educational Content Design: I translated intricate concepts into visually digestible sequences, making the RT3T™ methodology easy to grasp for diverse audiences.

  • Culturally-Inclusive Illustrations: By incorporating culturally relevant visuals and characters, I aligned the animation with RTeach’s mission to connect with various communities in an authentic and respectful manner.

  • Animation and Visual Flow: The smooth transitions and motion graphics keep viewers engaged while guiding them through each step of the methodology.

  • Clarity in Communication: My approach ensures that each segment flows logically, reinforcing understanding through both narration and visuals.

This project exemplifies my ability to transform educational content into a visually compelling story, supporting viewers in understanding the RT3T™ approach with clarity and engagement.

“Janina undertook numerous roles with RTeach, including working as a designer, illustrator, animator and social media advisor. Not only did Janina consistently perform these roles with a high degree of skill and insight, her considerable artistic ability helped define RTeach’s visual identity. My personal favourite was her animation of the concepts behind our Rakau Korero (talking stick), which combined cultural understanding with humour to produce a truly breath-taking work.”
