Traditional teaching tools often fail to engage students and accommodate their diverse learning preferences, and a lack of visualization skills has remained a problem in recent years. This design-based research study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate Animated Video as a Bimodal Tool to enhance storyboarding visualization skills in 2D Animation. The study selected second to fourth-year animation students from 78 populations. A purposive sampling method was used, with sample size varying across the four phases of the study. Data collection instruments included semi-structured interviews and surveys. The study used a Design-Based Research approach embedded with Mixed Method design including four phases: (1) Problem Identification and Exploration: gathering challenges experienced by Animation students in using visualization skills in storyboarding. Students face struggles in clarifying and conceptualizing ideas, thumbnailing, and character and scene composition in storyboarding, affecting their progress in creating storyboards; (2) Design and Development: design and development of Animated Videos, aimed to address challenges experienced by animation students; (3) Iterative Testing & Refinement and Evaluation: the iterative testing and refinement are based on the animation teachers' and experts' feedback, which showed that it needed refinement in terms of visual, audio, and content. Findings revealed that the level of acceptability of the animated video is highly acceptable in enhancing the storyboarding visualization skill of the animation students; (4) Synthesis of Design Principles: The synthesized design principles introduced Alignment With Multimedia Learning Theory, Multimodal Engagement, Experiential Learning, Authentic Context, and Progressive Complexity. The study concluded that the Animated Video as a Bimodal Tool enhances the storyboarding visualization skills of the animation students. The researchers further recommended a larger population to widen their perspective.
