A paper texture overlay was added to the entire piece to complete the retro-inspired visuals.
I chose “The Elevator Bossa Nova” by Bensound to reinforce the fun and funky visuals.

Background
As an unapologetic caffeine addict, different coffee creation methods have continually sparked my interest. In this motion design student project, I created an animated tutorial to demonstrate how to use the inverted method to brew a coffee with an Aeropress coffee maker.

Storyboard
The inspirations for the visual design of this project were 60s illustrations and animated opening sequences for television shows.
I wanted to create a vintage, nostalgic vibe mixed with modern elements that would only be possible with current technology.
Effects
Intro and Outro
To bookend the sequence, I added a television static effect. I followed a Youtube tutorial in order to create this effect.
Glimmers
I added glimmers inspired by 60s illustrations and cartoons as accents throughout the sequence to enhance the nostalgic feel.
