2D & 3D Anatomy Explainer

A self-initiated, two-minute explainer on muscle protein synthesis. With no client brief, the process starts at scripting. I built a visual language that renders real anatomy as light, with 2D diagrams drawn over 3D, and checked the science line by line. Claude helped build the Blender and Python tools, and the arm's motion was checked against a biomechanical model.

A translucent 3D arm with the biceps in hot pink, zooming through lenses into a fascicle, muscle fibers and a myofibril
Step 2, scripting: the script's seven sections, from The Fiber to The Summary, with its opening line
Step 2, scripting: the narration's waveform section by section, with notes on the voice, its direction and pacing
Step 3, production: eight of the film's 2D and 3D style frames, with notes on the style frames and the references used for accuracy
Step 3, production: the palette, hot pink for muscle, teal for cell machinery, ice for bone and membrane, plus coral, peach, off-white and off-black
Step 3, production: elbow moment arms for the biceps, brachialis and brachioradialis across the curl, from the OpenSim MoBL-ARMS model
Step 4, delivery: project files, the film, the arm in Blender's solid viewport, the After Effects timeline, the Visual Language PDF, the shot list and the style frames
