Animation changes

NGF_s001_q001_s001
Make the 3 illustrations insets instead of full screen shots
Joyce: This looked really bad when I tried it, because having three insets and the Margot drawing created way too much visual noise. It was especially strange because there were now too many hands on screen and there isn't enough contrast between the images to differentiate between the insets and the main image. It might work better if they were more schematic, but due to time constraints, I am unable to redo the drawings.  So I am keeping it the way it was before!

NGF_s002_q001_s003
- "increasingly sensitive..." make impulse speed up faster and more obviously

NGF_s002_q003_s003

Cut out silence btwn NGF complexes being taken up in Margot shot.

Use insets to set up periphery and central (spinal cord)

Use zoom box to exit from molecular to go to Margot shot. Then when say "distance sites" label DRG. Then make transition in inset for molecular shot to new molecular shot, and do zoom box back in.


NGF_s002_q001_s001

Soften mask on Margot's chin to hide more of the nerve.


Labeling changes


NGF_s002_q001_s003

collateral nerve branch - leaderline shouldn't be at tip


NGF_s002_q002_s001
Keep histamine, etc - keep on screen, maybe fade out
Could also have the whole list show up first - would solve problem of having the pink particles spewing out


NGF_s002_q003_s001
Labels for cations in channel shot

Put arrow flowing through ion channel


NGF_s002_q004_s001

Label nucleus, cell body in DRG.


NGF_s003_q001_s001

Slower blend from pill to Margot holding pill
Too much blur on the hand


NGF_s003_q001_s003

Lost NGF label on motion graphic

Vesalius Trust presentation ideas
- NGF binding to trkA
- DRG with pronociceptive
Say something about Toronto program just finished and animations will be submitted next year.
- Do breakdown of a few frames
- DoF and visual cues to maintain attention,
- Visually framing different areas on screen using DoF and palette.
- Design of composition rather than technical breakdown.
- NGF_s002_q004_s001: Inset part use limited colour palette and DoF to focus attention to raise certain elements to foreground.
Colour palette  - break down
Show snippets for each environment
 NGF-trkA vesicles formation
NGF_s003_q001_s003 - could be another shot
