Motion Graphics

The motion graphics used within each lesson were to display information about the experiment. Graphics incorporated the black, white, and yellow theme along with bold patterns.

Each lesson has a question, which is displayed as a full screen graphic leading into the experiment.

The batches have labels for the viewer indicating which one is the regular recipe, and which one is an idea by a character.

Character Development

The four main characters were given distinctions in the script to work from:

• French Fool (a French rolling pin)

• Nerdy Scale (a scale)

• Best Pal (stand mixer)

• Super Confident (a spatula)

​

After some development, and sourcing,

the objects for characters changed over time to be:

• French Fool = FRENCH ROLLING PIN

• Nerdy Scale = SPATULA

• Best Pal = STAND MIXER 

• Super Confident = SPOON

​

The first thing I did when designing out the character faces, was give them each a name. Then, character traits, fictional personality references, and four distinct facial expressions so the voice actor could reference them while performing.
