@Alan -- {Adaption A} 21: A Portion of the Infographic
Text transitions are not representative of the final animation, nor has the music been edited to suit the sequence. This portion of the animation encompasses the majority of the "Mike the headless chicken fact". I have not yet included the animated wheat in the background for I am not sure how to scale it down uniformly without having to repeat the entire puppet pin + nulls process.
@Alan do I need to repeat the puppet pin + nulls process on smaller versions of the wheat stalk, or is there a way I can scale it all uniformly?
Other than the placeholder transitions, does this satisfy the layout and design requirements we previously discussed?
Does the music still suit or has its suitability been lost due to a change in visual style?

{Adaption A} 20: Animating w/ Puppet Pins & Nulls - Wheat Stalk
Smaller versions of the wheat seen in this animation will form part of the background for Fact 08, concerning Mike the headless chicken [script]
The Setup

The Influence
{Adaption A} 19: Botox Needle - Animation Tests
In this test I have incorporated the forms of animation as suggested by Alan. Within the animation the syringe will shatter after 'injecting' a silhouette head, at which point the head will also shatter.

{Adaption A} 14: "The Top 10 Facts about Weird Science" Script
Fact 10
10. Unnatural!
Scientists invented
An oxygen micro particle
That lets you temporarily live without breathing
When injected into the bloodstream
A medical marvel!
Fact 09
09. Breath-taking!
One oxygen molecule
Can be breathed by 100s of people & animals
Including Albert Einstein
And the dinosaurs
But there is A LOT of Oxygen on Earth
About 67 quindecillion Oxygen atoms
[faded 67,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 text in background]
So breathing the same air as Einstein is unlikely
Fact 08
08. Bwarking Hell!
In 1945, Mike the chicken was beheaded
And survived!
[Graphic: chicken head on plate, headless chicken beside it, ‘plucking’ at plate]
“Miracle Mike” toured America
[North American continent with chicken head and legs / chicken ‘road trip’ map]
Making his owner $4,500 per month
That’s ≈ $59,000 today! (≈ £39,000)
Mike lived for 18 months
And died choking on a corn kernel
Fact 07
7. Hair-Raising!
A full head of human hair
[Rapunzel parody graphic]
Can support 12 tonnes
That’s the weight of 2 elephants!
[2 elephants swinging on hair]
Fact 06
06. Horror Hands!
More germs
Are transferred shaking hands
Than kissing
80% of infections
Are spread by hand
Fact 05
05. No Frogging Way!
Until the 1960’s,
Injecting a female African clawed frog
With a woman’s urine
[Needle poking in frog’s backside, frog with wide eyes]
Was the only reliable pregnancy test
[Pregnancy test with frog silhouettes instead of red lines]
If the woman were pregnant, the frog would ovulate
Within 12 hours
Fact 04
04. The Dead Rise!
In the 1930s, Dr. Robert Cornish (1903 – 1963)
Killed dogs and tried to revive them
Using an injection + seesaw combo
Each dog was nicknamed Lazarus
Lazarus IV and V rose from the dead!
But they had brain damage
Lazarus IV was blind and unable to stand alone
Fact 03
03. Spit Tsunami!
On average a person produces 2 pints of saliva per day!
Enough to fill 2 swimming pools
In a lifetime!
Fact 02
02. Shock-tox!
Botox is the world’s
Deadliest toxin
2 teaspoons will
Kill everyone in the UK
2kg will kill everyone in the world!
Fact 01
01. We are not alone!
And we don’t mean aliens.
[Graphic of sad ET / alien behind a ‘no’ sign]
We are covered with billions of tiny microbes!
Identity: Bacteria & Viruses
They live on and INSIDE us.
[Human body silhouette with bacteria wiggling on it, door inside chest opens revealing more bacteria inside]
There are more microbes on 1 person than humans on Earth.
There is no escape!

{Adaption A} 13: Infographic; Storyboard Thumbnailing 01
The relevant facts are
2. Botox is the
world’s most deadly toxin and is produced by a type of bacteria.
3. The average
person produces enough saliva in their lifetime to fill two swimming pools.
4. In the 1930s, an American doctor tried to bring dead animals back to life by injecting them with chemicals and rocking them on a seesaw. He failed to replicate his relative success with dead humans.

@Alan Are any of these music examples along the right lines of what might suit my "Top 10 Facts about Weird Science" infographic? Embeds removed due to unfortunate auto-play feature.
Note: The well known sci-fi instrument used in most, if not all the audio clips below is called a Theremin [1] [2]
Carnival of the Dead (1 minute)
Creature Feature (1 min, 46 sec)
Podmen from Sector 7 (1 min, 49 sec)
Halloween X-Files Theme (2 min, 39 sec)
From Another World (2 min, 58 sec)
Mystery of Planet X (1 min, 21 sec)
Mystery of Planet X 3 (1 min, 21 sec)

{Adaption A} 07: Infographic - Ideas Development and Influence Maps
After researching the uncanny and weird / creepy imagery, I have realized that focusing on making my graphic designs look this way is unnecessary because a surreal use of colour, such as via contrasting colours, would better achieve the 'weird-factor' without going too far. To focus too much on the uncanny is likely to be at the expense of the more important science / 1950s B-movie aesthetic.
A preferred basis would be for any graphic designs to keep a cardboard cut-out aesthetic, but be simple in design.
I have since moved on to primarily researching art of the 1950s to help guide my graphic design aesthetic, as illustrated by the Influence Map below...
