Short animated films made by Studio's director. Each came from one prompt, shown as it was typed.
How do bees make honey?
The metaphor. Honey is a watery drink that the bees dry thick.
Sip. A bee sips the watery drop from a flower and flies it home.
Pass. She passes it mouth to mouth to a friend, who tucks it into a wax cup.
Fan dry. Bees fan their wings; the water floats away; the drop turns thick and golden.
Seal. The friend closes the cup with a lid of wax.
Why does popcorn pop?
Every kernel holds a tiny drop of water, sealed inside a hard shell.
As the pan heats up, the water turns into steam.
The tough shell won't let it out, so the pressure builds and builds.
Then the shell cracks and bursts open. The soft starch inside puffs out.
