ILLUSTRATED VIDEOS

Illustrated videos are what we are known for! We work with tech companies and researchers to craft a compelling script that lends itself well to animations. We then create a unique, custom storyboard with hand drawn illustrations that helps the audience visualize your technology in a way that is fun and accessible.

How do we know what a fish likes? (And can we predict it?)

This video supports Part 2 of our lesson, "I Like That: How perception, emotion, and cognition shape our preferences." The video features the work of Tamra Mendelson, PhD and her former graduate student, Tory Williams, PhD. It is also designed to interact with student activities associated with the lesson. Here, we learn about how humans perceive color with our 3 cone types, and how that compares to darters (a type of beautiful freshwater fish that only has 2 cone types). The video (and activity) build toward students analyzing boxplots and data from a 2013 study led by Drs. Williams and Mendelson. The end goal of the study, and the lesson, is to test the hypothesis that female darters will be more attracted to a model male fish that is most stimulating to their sensory systems.
