Project: Ebola virus fly-though A quick visual study of this filovirus and its unusual, variable-length morphology.Also appears in the special “Ebola Exposed” (Discovery Channel UK). Above: This brief fly-through takes you into a dynamic environment where filamentous Ebola virions twist and undulate in three-dimensional space. Our goal was to capture the structural complexity of the…
Project: Adaptive Hydrogel Technology Excerpt from an animation that introduces the first and only fully absorbable in situ forming technology designed to protect transected nerves, prevent axonal escape, and reduce the risk of neuroma formation. Over 75% of patients who undergo amputation will experience chronic pain. While some surgical techniques reduce pain, they require microsurgery,…
Project: The Onyx Frontier™ Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) One of three full-length animations created for the Onyx Frontier marketing campaign. Above: frame from animation featuring placement of the Onyx Frontier™ DES. We collaborated with our client to visually focus on a few key features, including: Below: A few project-related illustrations created for brochures, website and social…
Project: X-ray Body in Motion Our goal for this piece was to create a realistic representation of radiological (x-ray) imaging. A visual study/exploration of the body in motion with a focus on yoga poses. Instead of just creating a still image, however, we wanted to combine the beautiful moves of yoga with this new visual…
Project: RNAi Therapeutics: The Incredible Potential of siRNAs This mechanism-of-action animation highlights the therapeutic potential of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), a powerful approach within RNA interference (RNAi), including an innovative siRNA delivery platform known as Targeted RNAi Molecules. Above: A view of siRNAs Many diseases stem from the overproduction of specific proteins or the presence…
Project: Systemic Amyloidosis MOD A few excerpts from a 3-minute MOD animation that provides an insightful overview of amyloidosis, a group of rare and devastating progressive diseases caused by the accumulation of misfolded proteins. The most common form of systemic amyloidosis is amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis, which is caused by the misfolding of immunoglobulin…
Project: Stages of Mitosis Stages of Mitosis, a promotional piece, begins with a fly-through of cells preparing to undergo mitosis (cell division). Above: a fly-through of cells preparing to undergo mitosis (cell division) Upon entering a cell we are introduced to various organelles of the inner cell and the key events involved in mitosis. Cell…
Project: T4 bacteriophages targeting E. coli bacteria. Bacteriophages are small viruses that infect bacteria and kill them by multiplying and essentially filling the bacterial cell to bursting. Above: Promotional piece created for closer sequence in previous demo reel.
