Animating Biology: The making of a science film

P. Kingman

Abstract

Biology is complicated. Understanding cellular and molecular biology is particularly difficult. Amongst the many effective communication tools at our disposal, animated film is at the forefront. Animation brings biological stories to life, and thus aids in our understanding of biological structure and function. Whether used to inform patients, to teach undergraduate biology, or to disseminate advances in research, animated film is a tool worth employing. But what goes into an animation? I will explain the step-by-step process of creating animations and show a lot of inspiring examples.
