Yoobee Grads produce TVNZ series ‘The Vloggingtons’

Yoobee Colleges paired up with Yoozoo Animations to place three Bachelor of Animation graduates in the production of TVNZ show 'The Vloggingtons.'

Yoozoo is an Auckland-based studio, animation and design studio that works with a large network of animators, illustrators, musicians, writers, and software developers.

The graduates worked with Yoozoo as 2D-animators for the short-bite New Zealand series, now in its second season.  

“The grads offered a strong comedic posing and eye for detail in puppet and hand-drawn animation breakdowns that were central to the mechanics of episodes,” says Julian Stokoe, founder and creative director of Yoozoo. 

“We had such a positive outcome with the grads that we will certainly reach out to Yoobee Colleges when we get the chance to work on our next long-form series.”

Aimed at 7 to 9-year-olds, the show follows the exploits of four kids who try to turn their everyday moments into epic video productions.

The shows’ tales are told in true Kiwi humour with a board of voices and writers hailed as New Zealand comedy royalty – a force in kids’ entertainment.

Currently, a video game based on the show is in the works.

The Vloggingtons is available to watch on TVNZ OnDemand.
