Scott Hewitt is the Australian version of what happens when Stephen King meets Dr. Seuss!
I am an Adelaide-based children's book author, actor and animator in children's entertainment. I have animated on shows and movies such as Bob The Builder, Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants and currently the popular video game, Fortnite.
Becoming a professional creative artist is a journey I love sharing with students, helping them chase their goals and dreams through storytelling, books and animation.
The students found the central theme of the performance moving and it generated a great discussion about not giving up on dreams!
Step inside the world of animation. In my animation sessions, students discover how cartoons and movies are brought to life, as I share lessons learned from working on hit shows like SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Individual class sessions include hands on learning using my proprietary web-based animation tool, AnimFACTORY.
"Scott's animation assembly captivated the entire school as he showed everyone just how much effort goes into making their favourite TV shows and movies."
In Skullboy and the Leap of Faith, Skullboy faces creepy forests, dark creatures, and scary challenges, but each obstacle teaches him something powerful.
True courage means believing in yourself, even when things feel frightening. My sessions use Skullboy's adventure to show students that bravery comes from facing challenges with creativity, persistence, and heart.
"Students were especially engaged as Scott read aloud from Skullboy. His use of voice and tone brought the characters to life and kept students hanging on every word."
There is nothing I love more than loading up the car and visiting regional areas of Australia.
I have had the pleasure of meeting and inspiring students from Adelaide, the South Australian Riverland, Limestone Coast and Yorke Peninsula, through to regional Victoria areas such as Nhill, Horsham and Ballarat.
Scott is currently touring Victoria to promote Skullboy, and we feel very fortunate to have been part of that journey. His visit left a lasting impression on both staff and students, inspiring many young minds to follow their creative passions.
