Development of a 3D Animation: The Fo-Fun Park

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) develop a 3D animation: The Fo-Fun Park; 2) evaluate the quality of  the 3D animation: The Fo-Fun Park 3) assess user satisfaction with the 3D animation: The Fo-Fun Park. The development process followed the 3P (Pre-production, Production, Post-production) principle. The technologies used were Blender software for 3D character design and Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing. There were two sample groups: 1) five experts, selected through purposive sampling, to evaluate
the animation's quality, and 2) 43 students from Kindergarten 3/2 and Primary 1/1, selected by simple random sampling, to assess satisfaction. The research instruments included: 1) the Fo-Fun Park 3D animation, presenting content on applying toothpaste and brushing teeth, 2) a media quality assessment form, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The results revealed that: 1) the developed animation has a runtime of 3.38 minutes, featuring main characters Father, Mother, Fong-Kluen, Fah-Sai, and Dr. Best, with settings in a house, amusement park, dental clinic, and movie theater; 2) the quality assessment by experts was at the highest level ( = 4.73, S.D. = 0.21); and 3) the student satisfaction assessment was at a high level ( = 2.91, S.D. = 0.16)
