SCHOLASTIC RISING VOICES LIBRARIES: ANCHOR VIDEOS
BRINGING DIVERSE STORIES TO LIFE THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING
As the creator of anchor videos for Scholastic's Rising Voices Libraries collection, I developed engaging 2D animations using Adobe After Effects that transform diverse literature into compelling visual content for classrooms nationwide. Working closely with Scholastic's art directors and illustrators, I've produced multiple iterations of these videos over time, creating numerous animations for this important initiative.
PROJECT IMPACT
Rising Voices Libraries bring underrepresented voices into classrooms, ensuring every child sees themselves in the books they read while appreciating experiences different from their own. My animated anchor videos serve as multimedia companions that:
Highlight key themes from diverse authors and illustrators
Create engaging entry points for classroom discussions about identity and culture
Support teachers in fostering inclusive learning environments
These videos now serve as essential teaching tools, helping educators implement culturally responsive practices where students from all backgrounds feel seen and valued. Through custom After Effects animation, I've contributed to Scholastic's mission of ensuring literature truly represents the rich tapestry of human experience.
