Mothers Day Celebration April 27th, 2025

Our parents can be some of the most important people in our lives. Mothers in particular can be a driving force into who we become as we grow up. They calm us when were sad and champion us when we are succeeding. This episode is our celebration for our moms and teaching little kids a simple gift they can make for their moms on Mother’s Day. This episode was made very smoothly there were no issues finding materials or getting it exported for notes and had the least note returns of any episode so far. It is a good example of my improvement through the editing process.

Categories of Animals March 30th, 2025

Animals are what makes the world function. Without them the Earth would be like every other known planet in the universe. Desolate and lifeless. Learning the different types and categories of animals is a big step in the learning process for children it gives them names and ideas for all the different things they see around them every day. For this episode the biggest challenge was more technical then anything. Due to all the different green animals when creating the lyrics for the song they couldn’t transfer over properly due to the matching colors meaning i had to do the lyrics on the main timeline. Not really a big issue just causes more of a slowdown in the process.

All About Planes! January 16th, 2025

Planes aren’t for everyone but you have to admit they are an amazing creation. This episode goes over flying and the different types of things, like birds and planes that can fly and what the difference is between a birds flight and how we as humans use planes to fly. The main issue for this episode was asset discovery through our asset website and it took several notes and cuts in order to get the final cut of the episode just right. In the end I feel that the episode came out just right and I learned better ways to search for necessary assets.

New Years Celebration December 23rd, 2024

Who doesn’t love the start of the New Year? You get do have a big party, think everything you’re gonna do in the coming year and reflect on all the cool stuff you did in the previous one. In this episode, I made most of the initial creative decisions. Having worked on previous episodes, I had a better understanding of the SunBeam Buddies style; picking out the different graphics, song choices and animating all the different motion graphics that are done in the episode. This episode did have one big challenge when it came to layering graphics with the different party items in the background and making sure that they didn’t overlap with Ms. Sunshine as she helps you through the different activities.

Learning Gratitude for Toddlers November 10th, 2024

Gratitude can go a long way. In this episode my primary responsibilities were laying out the timelines, animating any motion graphics and putting together the karaoke lyrics for the episodes song. The main challenge for this episode was making sure the timing of the karaoke ball was as close as possible. Since sometimes there was only a single frame to have the ball move from one word to the next. I wanted to make it look as smooth as possible.

Clean Up Song For Kids November 3rd, 2024

Who doesn’t love a kind word from a friend or a stranger. This episode was the first episode I worked on from end to end with SunBeam Buddies. I feel like I added a great creative touch to the episode while still trying to get an understanding of how their episodes flowed and what they are looking for in them. For me that was probably the most difficult part of the episode, since keyframing or slow export times can be frustrating. I did run into both of these challenges in this episode. I learned how clear communication with the team can make these challenges easier.

BOO! Halloween is a time of fun and frights. For this episode I was mostly used in a support role. The primary editing was done by another editor. However, I did contribute to the flow of the episode helping them come up with ideas for different transitions and graphics that might be fun while the episode was still in its production stages.
