The Widespread Effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Jul 11, 20192.5 minute animation that explores the multiple factors contributing to joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis and the role of IL-6, one of the most abundant multifunctional cytokines in the synovial fluid of patients with RA.
IL-6 is a key driver of articular and systemic manifestations and major player in inflammation, immunity, and disease.

11-foot-tall interactive beating heart installation
Jul 30, 2019Large-scale, interactive installation featuring a beating heart and flow simulation of the body’s circulatory system.
The heartbeat and blood flow respond interactively to visitors in the facility: as more people enter the University Center, the heart rate elevates; as they leave, the heartbeat lowers.
Created in the visual style of an MRI, the 11-foot-tall, 8-foot-wide installation serves as a living welcome to visitors of the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center.
This animation features a few of the sequences we produced for the final piece, including the particle simulations of blood pressure and flow.

4D Theater “Ride the Rails” Experience
Jul 11, 2017A few selected segments from an 8-minute animation produced specially for client’s trade show “4D Multisensory” installation.
The 3D interactive ride was featured at the ATS International Conference, the home of pulmonary, critical care and sleep professionals. Attendees experienced a stereoscopic, 3D monorail-style journey through two “branded” cities, learning more about two different patient therapies for COPD.
The XD Theater Experience is a self-contained, motion-simulated, stereoscopic 3D interactive ride often implemented for high-end, media-based trade show attractions.

Experience Virtual Inflammation in the Vive
Jan 02, 2018VR experience examining the pathogenesis and inflammatory cycle of psoriatic arthritis.
What does virtual reality provide that a linear video cannot? For this MOA, we immerse the viewer into the inflammatory cycle of psoriatic arthritis and reiterate the story in a non-linear fashion — allowing users the ability to roam around and explore as they wish.

Protecting against concussions
Dec 28, 2017A couple of excerpts from a video production that explores a new advancement in preventing brain injury; specifically, the occurrence of brain injury caused by a concussive blow to the head.
The Q-Collar, developed by Q30 Innovations, assists the body’s own physiology, creating a “bubble-wrap” effect for the brain.
One key visual component of this project involved working closely with the client to execute their concept of slosh mitigation.

Immunotherapy in lung cancer
Feb 15, 2018Activated T cells of the immune system targeting and destroying tumor cells. Once lysis occurs, the T cell moves to another cancer cell and repeats the process.
Sequence created for program that explores the impact of immunotherapies for lung cancer.

Let the phlegm fly!
Jul 08, 2018Micro-landscape view of respiratory cells, an accumulating layer of mucus, and Bordetella pertussis bacteria releasing toxins.
A coughing event is occurring here, displacing mucus, the bacteria, and debris.
Also known as whooping cough, pertussis is a highly contagious airborne disease that spreads simply through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person.

New sensor technology that measures glucose levels in diabetes
Dec 14, 2018Excerpt from animation elaborating on the science behind a new sensor technology that measures glucose levels in diabetes. The benefit of the device: no daily finger prick, and testing of glucose levels in a less painful and more efficient manner. Pretty cool.
In this sequence, we zoom down to the surface of the flexible filament to get a closer look at the micro cross-linked polymer matrix environment. As the camera travels through the matrix, glucose molecules can be seen landing, leading to signaling down the length of the cross-linked polymer chain, and reaching the floor of the sensor electrode.
