One of my thumbnails, hopfully will turn into one of the concept

Unit 6:

My first try to make a DNA structure with MAYA. However i want to make it more beveled, and differently structures. But so far that is the image of my first try/experiment using twist tool

Research

These are some brilliant movies, which I found really influential

@Phil: research and selected topic

So after reading about Cell cycle, Cellular aging and Cancer formation. I found DNA replication as one of the most difficult. So visualization of DNA replication would help students to understand the topic more. This is research i did so far.

I would be thankful for some feedback if i am going to the right direction. Thank you DNA replication

research

To create an educational biology movie, first of all I should completely understand the topic. for that I signed up for free trial biology HL online lessons for IB biology HL. Thanks for my previous school and IBDP I was able to get it. However under the term and conditions I am not aloud to share o publicize the information. However I thought it will be good opportunity for me to remember and learn more about Cell division and DNA replication.

Research

I started to look at International Baccalaureate Diploma Program biology course at Cell cycle and DNA replication. The reason, I choose this level of biology, because I have experience in learning Biology Standard Level at IBDP, so something that would be my level. As a challenge I started to look at higher level biology. My mission is to find something I feel students would learn faster visualizing it.

Commission project: research

For starting my commission projects research I started to look at already existing interactive and non interactive videos related with biology. I decided to make an educational animated film about cancer. I found some interesting web pages with iterative videos which looks quite professional. That would be my starting point of looking inspiration and deciding on the style/colours I am going to use for my final animation.
