A while back, Biovisions at Harvard came out with "The Inner Life of the Cell", a 3 minute animated exploration inside the cell, set to music. It went viral, as it surely deserved to do.
Now they've augmented that version with in depth scientific explanations of the actual parts of the cells and what is going on physiologically in that animation.
Maybe you have to be a biology lover to want this much detailed information, but when I saw the first rendition, this is precisely what I was longing to have, more knowledge of what we were being shown.
TA DA!! They did it.

Now they've made another animated video inside the cell, this time of the Mitochondria, called "Powering the Cell". It's the musical version, without explanation yet, so who knows which are the ADPs converting to ATP, your guess is as good as mine.
Any ideas are welcome.
Another knock your socks off moment.
I'm hopeful that this marriage of animation and science will inspire many new young minds into the field of science who would otherwise have spent their time producing animation for Ironman IV or the like. Not to knock Avatar or it's brothers and sisters in animated movieland, that was quite inspiring on many levels, but to see how our bodies and how nature really works with all the exciting detail of a full length feature is surely something to write a blog post about.
Thanks to Tom Myers and Joe Lubow for posting this in fb for all to enjoy.
Big WOW!
