Description

The appointed animation studio/s will design and produce either one or both of the animated educational videos working from scripts that will be developed by the Royal Observatory Greenwich's learning team.

They should each be two and a half to three minutes long but will be aimed at different ages. For primary students, the video will be about the Moon, and for secondary students, we will be focussing on galaxies.

The video/s should be completed by 11th March 2022. The maximum budget per video is £10,500. We like to have light-hearted elements in the videos to help our audiences engage with the content and welcome creative input from the animation studio for this, but we need to ensure the content is factually correct and therefore the learning team will provide the script and narration, and will input on the design too.

Examples of our existing animated videos can be seen here: www.vimeo.com/royalobservatory To help us select the animation studio/s for our project we are inviting applicants to submit a quote and creative response on the given script sample/s to show us how they would approach animating it, with associated visuals of their animating style.

Applicants will need to submit, to the Delta eSourcing Portal, a quote and creative response for each of the videos they wish to pitch for. We reserve the right to award the project to one or two suppliers. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

This project is most suitable for companies with annual turnovers of at least £50 000.
