Agricultural Extension, Plant Breeder, and Plant Researcher Animation Video

Abstract

An agricultural extension, plant breeder, and plant research animation video was produced to provide information and insights about the agricultural profession to elementary and high school students. Advancing agriculture is the job of the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (IAARD). The video was made in three stages: 1) pre-production, or planning; 2) production, or the actual making of the video; and 3) post production, the final refining stage. The pictures used in this video were taken from www.freepik.com and reprocessed (by tracing) before being used in the video. The software programs used to make the video were Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas Pro. The video’s duration is three minutes and 11 seconds. The video’s scenes are colorful and cheerful. A video preview can be viewed on IAARD's Instagram account and the full video can be seen on www.youtube.com. The video is also shown during student visits at IAARD’s agrocinema building in Bogor.
