Tiny Huge News is a creative media workshop created by Dodo Laboratory where @s from different cities around world work to create their own news segments that come together as Tiny News. A news program told by the children that reflects their views of current events from their corner of the world. The children will collaborate using their imaginations to creatively tell current news stories through performance. Much like a small theater show, the children in our set work together to interpret different characters and scenes from the news with props and clothing, encouraging storytelling, collaboration, and creative performance exploration. The project is envisioned as an international collaborative network between China, Spain, Germany, and eventually other countries around the world, with a focus on bringing the workshop to children in need, and those who have experienced or are living the events of the news firsthand. The pieces produced in different locations will be compiled into a news broadcast that will be shared with all participants and children around the world. News for children told by children
(All animations were made by VENI STUDIO - You can see the new workshops on the THN website).

The first thing was to design the logo and finalize the color palette.

And this was the final logo.

Next, they had to draw all the elements necessary for the children to be able to record the news: elements of the human body, animals, buildings, cities, objects, spotlights, microphones, landscapes, clothing... In each workshop, the children cut them out and painted them however they liked so they could record the news. The first workshop was in Shanghai, and the next one was in Madrid.

Here we see how they dressed up to deliver the news and also as they created the backgrounds, decorations, and props they needed.

After the children recorded the news as they saw it, we created a header to open and close the news. The animation was created by VENI .

And here's a brief summary of the news the children shared at the workshop in China. We'll soon be able to see the news from Madrid, and from upcoming workshops held in different cities. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making this work. Thanks to all the children who participated in THN.
