Bees & Time

Did you know that bees can get jet lag? Inspired by the look of worn, yellowed scientist’s notebooks, this 2-minute video tells the tale of how a team of scientists proved that bees perceive time just like humans.

The process of creating this involved research, writing a script, finding someone to read that script, and many (many!) style frames and storyboards. 2 Minutes ended up feeling like quite the short time to tell this story, but with revisions to the script, it all came together.

A special shout out to fellow designer and friend Sam Schröder for lending me his voice.
