3D Animations

Immune-Mediated Hemolysis

Medium: Maxon Cinema 4D, Maxon Redshift, Adobe AfterEffects 

Objective: 

Depict the basic steps of IgM mediated hemolytic reactions on the cellular scale to the medical student, biomedical science PhD student, and phlebotomy audience.  After viewing they will be able to identify the proteins that lead to a red cell bursting after a foreign antigen enters the blood stream.

Cellular Migration: Cancer

Maxon Cinema 4D, Maxon Redshift, Adobe Aftereffects

Objective: 

 To depict and describe cell migration in relation to focal adhesions and cancer metastasis for the audience of biomedical science PhD students.  After viewing this animation, the students will be able to describe the process of metastasis, explain how focal adhesions form in a 3D matrix environment, and visualize how cells move if focal adhesions are abandoned.
