About this video
The Getty is a world-renowned space for rare art, perched atop the Santa Monica Mountains. They don’t have problems convincing adults to visit. Teens and tweens? That’s another story. To convince the kiddos to come in, the museum tapped us to create a series called “2-Minute Time Machine” to promote ancient art to an audience of middle-school-aged kids from diverse backgrounds. The museum Director and curation team were sticklers for detail, so we had to ensure every design, every coliseum, every artifact was historically accurate. Research was a critical part of this job. We had a dedicated team of two people who were responsible for vetting imagery and ensuring the team was using the right haircut for the Egyptians, the correct period of architecture for the Romans, and that the stylus we drew was representative of what was used in the specific time period we were showing. We created a series of three animations that visually explore the origins of beards, writing, and bread.
