The project

The Musical Brain looks at the human musical experience. Through interviews with leading researchers (Daniel Levitin), and popular artists (Sting, Wyclef Jean), this science documentary explores how our brains are hard-wired to crave rhythms & melodies. For the show’s scientific animations, we developed a fiber-optic-like visualization of neural circuitry in order to depict complex brain activity for a general audience.

Scientific Animation

Title screen from XL309 MOA animation. SL is an emerging strategy for targeting cancer cells. Our client’s lead SL candidate, XL309, inhibits USP1, a deubiquitinase essential for single-strand DNA break repair. Due to compensatory DNA repair mechanisms, XL309 has no effect on healthy cells. However, XL309 is lethal in cancers with homologous recombination (HR)-deficiency that have genetic alterations impairing double-strand DNA break repair. To explain this complex story to multiple audiences, we created a clear, concise MOA animation. Flowchart-like 3D motion graphics make it easy to follow the complex interplay of DNA damage repair mechanisms, while molecular scenes illustrate how the different proteins interact to orchestrate DNA repair.

Title slide from zanzalintinib (XL092) mechanism of action (MOA) animation. XL092 is a small-molecule inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that are involved in cancer growth and immune regulation. Animation is divided into chapters. A web-based interactive version of the video was developed for use at congresses. Animation launched at AACR 2022.
