Alex Cugno - Art Director - Graphics and VFX 2022 Motion Award Winner for best graphics package https://motionawards.com/masterclass-bill-nye-teaches-science-and-problem-solving/ CATEGORY DESCRIPTION A system of motion graphic elements intended to brand and/or present information within a television or streaming show PROJECT DESCRIPTION The MasterClass team was excited to lean into retro-futurism for the Bill Nye Class. The centerpiece of each science deep dive in this Bill Nye class is a macro dolly shot using the Laowa 24mm Probe Lens, “bringing us into the science” and providing a unique perspective on the mundane. The practical shots for the Lesson Title Graphics are contrasted by the rest of the package that utilizes hand illustrated visuals inspired by old science books and futuristic UI Overlays.
