Process

Research & Concept

I chose Bloom Ferments, a small brand producing fermented foods and drinks. My concept was to zoom into the products and bring the invisible fermentation process to life through animation.

Visual design

I explored colourful, textured motion graphics and illustrated every scene in Adobe Illustrator, creating a playful visual style inspired by the product itself.

Animation & Sound

I brought the illustrations to life through animation, focusing on pacing, transitions and storytelling. I also used Adobe Audition for the first time to work on the audio and spoken narration.
