The incredibly complex story of the formation of t-cells within our bodies, is the subject of this six minute animation. Combining detailed science and research, the goal of this animation is to provide first-year medical students with a concise overview of this amazing biological process. We took our inspiration for the illustration style from public service announcements from the 1950s to try and make the dense subject matter more palatable to a younger audience. While a voiceover explains the details of the process, images and sound effects combine to tell a comprehensive but fun telling of this process. We love creating animations that can tell a story, explain a plot, or delve into a character. Honing in on those aspects of animation that make it superb at telling a compelling narrative.
