A slide with the title 'Project Statement' on a white background, with a description below that reads, 'I would like to make an explainer video about the history of coffee that is both cute and informative. I will be using the audio from this YouTube video and animate what the script says.' Next to it, a screenshot of a YouTube video titled 'Story of Coffee | History of Coffee | Motionlab' showing a dark brown background with stylish yellow and white cursive text that says 'the story of Coffee,' with typical YouTube player controls at the bottom.
An online collage including animated illustrations of cups of coffee, a photograph of two cups of coffee with desserts, a Starbucks logo, a color palette of various shades of green and brown, an abstract digital painting of kitchen items, and a list of TED-Ed videos about coffee and dumplings.
A sketched storyboard titled "Process" which includes text and character/dog/monk designs. The first part describes creating sketches for a script about coffee, with scenes including coffee plants, currency, banners, and a woman dancing. The second part features character designs of a person named Kaldi, goats, monks, and shubs, with notes on styles, locations, and additional sketches of coffee cups, maps, and musical notes.
