Filmmakers seek to create story pieces that are visually beautiful and engage the full attention of their audience. They typically abide by a 3-step process moving through pre-production, production, and post-production. Within each step, there are a series of tasks that need to be accomplished in order to reach the completed film. A successful film requires careful planning and strategy in pre-production, timely and decisive execution in production, and minimal unforeseen retouching in post-production.<br/><br/>Even though filmmakers have continued to follow the same formula throughout the decades, the filmmaking process has remained largely inefficient. It is extremely common for pre-production planning to be undercut, for production filming to run far too long, and for post-production VFX and editing to send the project over budget. These instances can cause major issues as the project is being finalized. In many scenarios portions of the project need to be reshot, the box office revenue isn’t enough to make up for extensive VFX retouching, or the project may never even come to fruition. <br/><br/>The reason for this recurring theme of films being over budget and out of time is quite simply that technology has made filmmakers lazy. “Fix it in post” is a disgustingly common phrase used in the film industry. It describes the utter abuse of computer retouching in the post-production phase of filmmaking. Despite working in an industry that seeks to entertain the human eye, filmmakers have become blind to all of the small mistakes that could cost them hundreds of hours and millions of dollars in the long run.

This product design thesis paper aims to explore innovative strategies for making the process of learning oral and hand hygiene habits more engaging and interactive for children. The study aims to identify effective teaching methods, incentives, and technologies that can be incorporated into product design to promote healthy oral and hand hygiene behaviors in children in a fun and playful way. The research will involve conducting a comprehensive literature review of existing literature on hygiene habits in children, effective teaching methods, and relevant psychological theories on child learning and motivation. The study will also examine how visual elements such as packaging and product design influence the sales of children's toys and what regulations and standards are in place for children's toys, and how corporations comply with them. The data collected from the literature review will be analyzed to identify the most effective strategies for incorporating oral and hand hygiene education into product design. This research aims to contribute to the field of product design by developing a product system that makes teaching healthy oral and hand hygiene behaviors to children more enjoyable and playful. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the current hygiene habits and attitudes of children and serve as a foundation for future research in the field of product design and hygiene education.
