An animation, which started out as a Kickstarter project, is to air on Sky Kids.
Labuntina comes from animator and songwriter, Valentina Ventimiglia, who developed a song-based way to entertain and educate her young daughter.
dock10 worked alongside her to develop a pilot to take to market. It was then commissioned by Sky Kids’ head of kids’ content, Lucy Murphy on the final day of the 2017 Children’s Media Conference in Sheffield.
The show also received backing from Creative England.
“It was a long but rewarding road to bring the seeds of my ideas to fruition. But I couldn’t be happier with the shows now. Many people committed to the journey to bring Labuntina to life, and the post production team at dock10 were integral to that journey,” said Ventimiglia.
MediaCityUK’s dock10 provided full post production and delivery of the 10×3 minute animated music videos. This included voice recording and music mixing; sound FX and final audio mixing.
“It was a fantastic project to work on. It is a simple but lovely concept, and Valentina’s enthusiasm, commitment and hard work made it a no-brainer to get involved with,” said Damien Lynch, Head of VFX Operations at dock10.
“To see a Kickstarter funded idea grow from a concept to a delivered commission has made the whole team proud to be part of its success.”
Labuntina Sing-along is available on Sky Kids Now TV.
