Inner Life of a Cell Animation
Youtube.com is full of funny, interesting and daft videos but sometimes you come across a video which is artistically and aesthetically pleasing, even if you really haven’t got a clue what is going on.
“Inner Life of a Cell” is one such and won a Telly Award 2006. Linked is the 3 minute condensed version of a longer 9 minute piece. With a great soundtrack this is a beautiful animation. I think I recognised DNA both forming and being spliced but I could be way wrong. It’s 3 minutes and 8 seconds of delight.
This Press Release explains what it is about and why. “The first in a planned series of animations for Harvard University’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, “The Inner Life of the Cell” takes undergrads beyond textbooks and vividly illustrates the mechanisms that allow a white blood cell to sense its surroundings and respond to an external stimulus.”
The company behind this is XVIVO and they create animations for pharmaceuticals, medical devices and biotech companies, advertising etc. The gallery on their website is well worth a look.
