MJA Winner – Science Explained

We were winners of Science Explained at the recent MJA Awards. The Mystery of the Disappearing Lymphocytes. Our film for Nature. Respect to the brilliant Charlotte Stoddart (words) and our very own Jules Bartl (picture/animation). ‘A delightfully clear and beautifully engaging explanation of a notoriously complex subject’.

Scientists’ Guide to the US Election

The United States has narrowed it down to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as the two best people to run the country. This animation we’ve made for Nature Video looks at how the presidential candidates feel about science and what impact the other positions up for grabs in the government could have.

A mix of motion graphics and and animated illustration.

Nature. All Four Films Finished

All four animations of former Nobel Prize winners for Nature are now finished. And very pleased with them we are.

You can see all of them in our work section, or by clicking the names below. Amazing stuff by Otter & Squirrel, Bird, Monkey and Penguin.

Baobab Tree for Mars

Here’s a film we made for Mars called Unlocking the Potential of Orphan Crops.

It was animated by Matt (Duck) with 3D tree work by Fu and Jez (Monkey and Otter.)

Epigenome Animation

We have just finished animating some stuff for Nature for their latest video. The process of methylation and histones is what we’re into at the moment (or we were until the very second we’d rendered the last scene). The video sections were orchestrated by Thom Hoffman, who is good at this stuff. The aniamtion was by Mole and Dog. You can see it here.
