This is one of our most complex animations to date. With a total runtime of over 8 minutes across three modules, the program incorporated over 50 separate models, from the molecular (Angiotensin I, BNP, Endothelin), to the microscopic (red blood cells, platelets, endothelial cells), to whole organs (heart, lungs, kidney, liver, vascular system) and even a whole body. Creating, managing, and animating all of these digital assets into a coherent program with a strong narrative using a team of 4 modelers and animators working concurrently – was a challenge. Our client also had a specific tradeshow in mind to premiere the final movie, which was only 12 weeks from project initiation and gave us a fixed deadline. We managed to bring the whole program in on time and on budget – an innovative achievement.

www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation demonstrates techniques used in bariatric surgery (weight reduction surgery) for obesity, including stomach staple. Bariatric surgery is performed if weight loss efforts through lifestyle changes and medications have been unsuccessful and your body mass index, or BMI, is above 40 or above 35 and you have life-threatenign condition, such as heart disease of diabetes. There are two types of bariatric surgeries; restrictive and malabsorptive. Gastric bypass or Roux-en-Y is both a restrictive and malabsortive procedure, while banding techniques are restrictive procedures and biopacreatic diversion procedure is a malabsorptive procedure.
