BBC Bitesize French

French language learning application for the BBC [Bloc Media project]

A resource for students studying their GCSEs, these language modules were a true mix of Flash techniques. In AS2, I developed these to work with the designer's timeline character animations as well as code-based interactive quizzes.

To help the student learn how the lips form the French sounds, we filmed movies of a native French speaker and I loaded them into the speaking characters as needed for a seamless, educational experience.

Beautiful character design and animation by Liam Owen. Supporting animation and programming by Matt Booth
