Some time has been spent in recent weeks exploring new animation techniques. For this purpose a selection of old Magipics animations have been revisited and reworked, and entirely new material has also been created. Here is a short biomolecular showreel, focussing on cells and biomolecules. It starts out with red blood cells; then moving on to stylized stem cells, followed by the molecular principle of an ion channel in a cell membrane. The next scene illustrates the molecular “motor” mechanism driving flagellar movement in bacteria. It finishes on a very current topic: the attack of a Corona virus. Genuine molecular pdb structures have been used for the “spike” and HA surface antigens on the virus particles.
The soundtrack was also created in-house.
