XVIVO Scientific Animation
XVIVO Scientific Animation (or XVIVO) is an American scientific and medical animation studio based in Hartford, Connecticut, United States. It was founded in 2001 by David Bolinsky, former lead medical illustrator at Yale University, and Michael Astrachan. The company is most known for its short film ''The Inner Life of the Cell'', which debuted at the 2006 SIGGRAPH conference in Boston. The project was commissioned by Harvard University’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, which currently holds the rights to the piece.
==''The Inner Life of the Cell''==
In 2006, XVIVO released ''The Inner Life of the Cell'', an 8.5 minute 3D computer graphics animation depicting the molecular processes of a white blood cell during leukocyte extravasation. The concepts and scientific knowledge for the film were given by Robert Lue, director of life sciences education, and Alain Viel, director of undergraduate research at Harvard University. The film was commissioned by Robert Lue to become part of the molecular and cellular biology department’s learning program, Bio Visions. XVIVO’s John Liebler was the lead animator for the project. The film took 14 months to complete.〔
The film has been noted for its cinematic take on science education, and has been described as “the pivotal moment for molecular animation.” In an interview with Bolinsky, he admitted “we didn’t really anticipate that it would go anywhere and when it did it took us all by surprise.”〔 In 2007, Bolinsky delivered a TED talk on the merits of scientific visualization, and showcased an excerpt from ''Inner Life''.
''Inner Life'' is the first in a proposed series of shorts for Harvard’s BioVisions. The second installment, titled ''Powering the Cell: Mitochondria'', was released in 2010 and depicts the process of cellular respiration. The third piece, titled ''Protein Packing'', was released in 2014 and depicts the molecular crowding and Brownian motion of proteins within a neuron.
