LabTV is a web series aimed at encouraging more teens to pursue a science curriculum.
It is produced by Vanderpool Films, and completed two seasons.
I do all the graphics and animations for the series.
Generally per episode I get a single-day budget, though usually go at least two days,
and sometimes more, to make sure that my work fulfills the needs of the show.
These examples are not meant to demonstrate the upper limit of my skills, by any means,
but to show what I can do with a challenge to communicate an idea on a tight budget.
Usually I am trying to cram in at least 3 animations into that box.
All voiceovers were temporary, and many are omitted because I didn't keep the originals,
so, not so much to go on as to what it was I was trying to illustrate. Oopsie.
At first my client asked that I keep things super simple so their client (US Department of Defense)
wouldn't get too addicted to stuff that was too nice, i.e. too expensive to do all the time,
but after a while it became clear that my graphics added a special sizzle
that really made the DoD folks very pleased. Sometimes you go the extra mile and it counts.
Kids = easily bored, so anything to make it a little more bright and shiny = good.
All the full episodes can be viewed at LabTV.
