The project
A feature-length documentary about inherited diseases. Diverse storytelling needs called for 2 medical animation styles: 1) 3D visualization for immersive journeys; 2) Hand-drawn for concepts and processes. The resulting visualizations showcase incredible molecular processes for a lay audience and allow both fleeting molecular interactions and long experimental workflows to be memorably communicated.
