01 v2 Fridge Door

A shelf above the butter and cheese adds context to place the illustration inside a fridge door. A number of frames were added, along with slight acceleration, to the animation.

01 / Fridge Door

Drawing from the article’s opening description of the fridge door, this concept highlights the addition of Laughing Cow cheese to the lineup of chili garlic sauce and a stick of butter.

Execution

Each item would be made in 3D (i.e. chili jar is cylindrical/ semi-cylindrical, the butter is a box shape), including the shelf ledge in front of the items.


02 / Breakfast

A breakfast of “jiggly-yolked sunny side-up eggs, crunchy daikon pickles and seared coins of ultra-savory Chinese sausage” sizzle in the pan as a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese appears.

03 / Flat Lay

Traditional ingredients of Vietnamese cooking—chili garlic, lime, herbs, rice paper, rice noodles, and a can of coconut milk—appear, ending with the central element, Laughing Cow cheese.

Execution
Elements would be constructed in 3D and shot top-down. Rice paper and noodles would be created from translucent paper. Food items referenced are below:
