Description/Abstract: | In a collaborative project between Phil Gomm at the University of Creative Arts (UCA), his students, and Peter Klappa, from the School of Biosciences at University of Kent, we aim to bridge the gap between capturing the elegance of life and scientific knowledge by making computer-generated animations (CGA) of biological processes. These animations are designed to combine scientific accuracy with the aesthetics and beauty of nature. The audience should immerse itself into the magic of life; while at the same time see accurate details of what is happening in nature on a microscopic level. We are planning to make our animations available for teachers and students to be used in the classroom for biology teaching. Currently we are preparing CGAs for a wide range of audience levels, e.g. from primary school level to undergraduate HE level. Each animation lasts about 4 - 6 minutes and contains 3D animations and sound. |
