Project goal

Create a short introductory explainer animation to describe the very basics of condensate biology for the client's website. The project also included creation of a set of illustrations, adopting a different style, for corporate decks.

In this project, we employed multiple visualization styles and modeling approaches. We created a detailed 3D animation alongside simplified static illustrations that cover the fundamentals of condensate biology and highlight the potential of Dewpoint’s candidate condensate-modifying drugs. The production timeline was complex, as the final segment of the 3D animation—illustrating the mechanism of action (MoA) of the c-mods—was developed and integrated after the rest of the video had been completed. The workflow involved numerous tasks requiring significant scientific, visual, and technical research and development, which we carried out through iterative collaboration with our client.

Working with structured protein complexes is generally more straightforward, as extensive X-ray, NMR, and cryo-EM data are available across multiple databases. Visualizing biomolecular condensates, however, presents a greater challenge: it requires not only modeling proteins with intrinsically disordered regions, but also animating their dynamic interactions.

Why did we use this
animation type?

We used our Main 3D style for the animation in this project. However, the complexity of the depicted structures required a scientific workflow nearly as intensive as that used for our high-end 3D style.

For the static illustrations, we employed a simplified 3D approach, which contrasts strongly with the Main 3D style and made harmonizing the two visually challenging. Nevertheless, this strategy allowed us to produce an eye-catching and scientifically accurate main animation, alongside static illustrations that adopt a more schematic style and are significantly more visually engaging than traditional 2D infographics.
