Cell Side Story

This is an Animated Short we created with the students from Atkins High School in Winston Salem NC. The goal was to bring young kids closer to biotechnology as well as the inner world of the cell, by giving a personality to different organelles. In this case, mr Twist who in reality is the Kinesin biomotor, falls in love with DNA girl who lives inside the nucleus, and invites her to leave her nucleus home behind for a world full of adventure out in the Cytosol. The project took 7 months to complete and the students got a first hand experience of what it is to work on a full scale 3D animation production with a Biotech theme that is well beyond their highschool education.

The animation is good! The singing is off-key and detracts from the whole video, and the science isn't right either!

@BigTuna419 Thanks for your kind words and observations. Unfortunately the very unique circumstances under which this video was created, didn't allow us to find the right vocal talent in time. Therefore we moved on with whatever we could use. Something is better than nothing! As for the science behind this, its intentionally not accurate in many ways. Some things happen the way they do to help the story, However we set the scientific facts right on the DVD extras.

@mos123ish  I agree! What a cute ponytail for the DNA girl!

Great video! The animation is so cute, and the music and lyrics are great. What a wonderful way to get children excited about science and to encourage them to learn more about these characters/cell components.
