Large Hadron Collider in 2 minutes

A video created for my Year 2 Independent Learning module explaining the Large Hadron Collider in 2 minutes.

The purpose of the video is to explain a complex subject in a simple way. It was also my first attempt at animation using 3D Studio Max. All the textures in this video are original and mostly created using photographs as a base. The video was edited with Sony Vegas 7.

I am a third year student at Anglia Ruskin University studying BSc (Hons) Computer Aided Visualisation. More of my work can be seen at www.tjmortimer.com

Nice ultra-short intro to the LHC. Would have been better if it had explained a few of the details better: what the purpose of colliding lead ions would be; what the Higgs Boson is (imbues matter with mass); and just how scientists expect particle collisions to elucidate the nature of dark matter. True, it would then be "Large Hadron Collider In 7 Minutes" instead of 2, but I think it would be worth the extra 5 minutes. Grade: B (Nice, but a bit on the skeletal side.)

Thanks for the comment, glad it was interesting enough that you'd watch it for another 5 minutes! :)

Hopefully late this year/next year I think? Hopefully they'll find that pesky Higgs particle...

I can almost hear God laughing at all the money, time and work people spent on this. We can't recreate what God has done in creation.....

Anyone who believes a 27 km dia. atom smasher can create a black hole doesn't understand what a black hole is.

wonder when will they start the experiment again after the first try failed.
