Ambrosia Avenue
Three-part restaurant training series
Ambrosia Avenue is a three-part internal training video series developed for a fictional restaurant brand. The goal was to create engaging, clear, and visually cohesive onboarding content covering company values, sanitation procedures, and emergency protocols. From scripting and storyboarding to animation and voiceover, every element was crafted to ensure clarity and accessibility. By combining custom 2D motion graphics, self-filmed footage and other footage, character animation, and a consistent color palette, the series balances informative structure with friendly, polished design. This project emphasized adaptability under limited resources while maintaining a high production standard across all three videos.
