Behind The Scenes

We had an absolute blast bringing this one to life. With physics legend Jim Al-Khalili narrating, the pressure was on to make a complex topic feel clear, engaging, and easy to digest.

We kicked things off with storyboards and styleframes, adopting a striking colour palette and symbolic graphics. The frames were then edited into a sequence and timed to the audio, before adding all the bells and whistles in animation.

Science never looked so slick.

Stylized digital art of a bright, warm-colored landscape with trees, nuclear buildings, and a sunset or sunrise sky.

Illustration of atomic nuclei with orbiting electrons, featuring stylized symbols and lines representing atomic structure and energy levels.
