Scale Of The Universe

In March of 2020 I began working on a 3D animation for The Denver Museum of Nature & Science in Denver, Colorado. The goal was to create a scientifically accurate 3.5 minute animation about the scale of things in the known universe for visitors to learn from.

It is now a permanent installation in the museum and part of an exhibit called "Space Odyssey". If you're in the Denver neighborhood check it out!

The video is installed on a physical device that can be played backwards and forwards by the rotation of a knob that the visitor controls. In addition to constructing things as scientifically accurate as possible, this also meant that all shots had to be 100% seamless and as fluid as possible.

There were 37 key shots in total, 74 including the transitions in between. I created all the shots using Cinema 4D and Octane. The UI and typographic animations were all done using Illustrator and After Effects.
