“Sineskwela Adventures” is a animated series concept I created based on Sineskwela (a portmanteau of the words “Sine” = “Film“, “Eskwela” = “School“, “Kwela” = “Fun“), a local educational television show focusing on science and technology. Through fun visual effects and characterization, the show is able to explain complicated scientific phenomena to young children in the local language.
“Sineskwela Adventures” is about reimagining Sineskwela as an animated series.
