Cell Animator Hears Hollywood, and Everyone Else, Calling
Last year, we tipped our hat to the The Inner Life of a Cell. A stunning piece of 3 minute animation by David Bolinsky at Harvard. It seems we weren’t the only ones floored. Now he’s getting calls from the Wachowski brothers, and just about everyone else, according to this interview posted today at WIRED News.
WN: What was the reaction to it there?
Bolinsky: We started receiving tens of thousands of e-mails and phone calls, the hits on our website went from 200 a week to 650,000 a week and it was picked up by ABC News. We were getting e-mails from major universities all over the world asking if they could use this for their students (and) calls from high school teachers wanting it for advanced biology classes … and museums that want us to work on museum exhibits because they want to modernize how they teach science.
This is what I hoped when I started this company — that it could change how people saw things. We (thought) this great academic animation would be shown at Harvard and would disappear forever under the Ivy dome of silence…. We didn’t really anticipate that it would go anywhere and when it did it took us all by surprise.
