Anima - education through animation
I started Anima during the COVID restrictions. I began spending more time at the computer and, alongside my full-time remote work, decided to return to an old idea from school: education felt outdated, and textbooks felt too boring and unclear.
I wanted scientific topics to be explained through video and animation that hold attention and make the meaning easier to grasp than complex wording. That is how I started making short educational videos about electricity.
The project was created in parallel with full-time remote work. One episode took around 3-4 months, and neural networks did not exist for this workflow yet. It was my first experience, so the videos came out a little slow and sometimes drawn out.
Continuing the channel alone was hard. Educational videos are also more difficult to promote on YouTube: algorithms more often pick up lighter, humorous and short content. I tried to attract investment and scale Anima, but unfortunately the project did not grow further.
