Animation Tech Talk by Drew Berry 23 July 2022 How to Stop your Molecules Looking Like They Know Where to Go The Problem of Agency in Molecular Animation A problem that plagues many 3D molecular animations is the way molecules are presented moving around the cell flying straight to their enzyme destinations as if they know where to go. Drew Berry will present a few of his considerations, tricks and techniques to reduce the appearance of molecular agency, while delivering stochasticlooking moving molecules that are fully under animator control for choreography and storytelling. Session Takeaways: 1. Wrangling time scales at a quadrillionth of a second while making molecules meaningful to watch 2. Wandering randomly while getting there on time
