HUM 203: The World in Motion, Animation in Theory and Practice

Assignment 1

Assignment 2

Final project

Cell Story is the name of my animation. I attempt to bring vitality to a living cell. Is it strange or contradicting of itself? Actually it is neither. Science has taught us that cells are living elements that are basically the fundamental building block of organism, but so few who live outside the scientific community understand or have seen a real cell before. Thus the identity of a cell is given by those individuals who are fortunate and technically specialized. In other words, we simply accept the words of these individuals as facts. To us a cell is no stranger than a fictional story or a flying saucer.

I’m a biochemistry student who just started my journey entering this bizarre world of science. To me a cell is to be believed a living object, and it is well animated in my mind. I want to propose this question: does a cell live through its daily life as we do?
