Goals and Objectives


To create an explainer video that promotes algae-based bioplastics as an alternative to petroleum-based plastic as well as acts as a step-by-step guide to making this type of material at home.

Research


In order to create this informational motion piece, I thoroughly investigated algae-based bioplastics. This involved looking at why the material is better than petroleum-based plastics, the life cycle of algae-based bioplastics and how it can be made at home.



Audience


Environmentally conscious individuals who want to learn more about biodegradable bioplastics and want try making an algae-based version at home.


What I Learned


This project not only expanded my knowledge on bioplastics and their vast benefits and uses but incentivized me to increase my skill set within AfterEffects.
