The project
In the sci-fi horror feature Splice, scientists defy legal and ethical boundaries, splicing human and animal DNA to create a new organism. AXS created animations and illustrations for props on the film set, basing our visualizations on laboratory video footage of nuclear transfer and cell division. We leveraged our knowledge of human sectional anatomy to create the creature MRIs.
