3D computer animation is a powerful tool for scientific communication and artistic explorations. This course will focus on creating animations of biological processes, particularly at the molecular and cellular scale. Co-taught by Dr. Lien Fan Shen (Film and Media Arts) and Dr. Janet Iwasa (Biochemistry), students utilize computer animation and scientific software, working with biological researchers at the U to develop scientific narratives through visualization. Prerequisite: Film 2600 Introduction to Animation and basic knowledge in Maya interface and animation.
