| Animation for Science Docs |
Science and natural history films are designed to explain natural
phenomena on Earth. Recently these documentaries have started to include
more animations to tell a story quickly and graphically, in ways that
standard footage can’t.
Animations can also be used to add humor to an otherwise heavy topic. Take An Inconvenient Truth, for example. It used a Simpsons-ques animation to explain how the sun’s rays work in relation to our atmosphere and greenhouse gases.
We feel strongly that animations are a great tool for the science
filmmaker and something that everyone should learn. You don’t have to be
a master; there are several simple techniques/programs that you can use
to start. We’ll highlight the ones we have had the most success with
and that seem to be the most commonly used.
