Archives - Blood Vessel Demo, No Cells (2012)

This animation is incomplete, but its supposed to be a first-person perspective view of the inside of a blood vessel, sans the red blood cells...those I was going to add later. Overall, it was a fun project, and I used some underwater microphone sounds, focus blurring, particles, a low heartbeat, and a "chipped lens" effect to make if feel like you're there. It's a long video, but I wanted to also give a gradual feeling of slowly spinning in place, as if you're hanging by a camera cord or something. Also, the cellular texture is based on real electron microscope images of the inside of vessels. No 3D modeling or software required...just Adobe After Effects! Hooray, medical animation and art is fun!
