There’s a reason why ads for new drugs spend so much time on the side effects.

In my last piece, I wrote about how the complexity of the body can be explained with animations — but that wasn’t the whole story. Within the medical animation space there are rules and regulations that govern much of the content, including those notoriously awkward lists of side effects in drug...
Narrative Storytelling - From Hollywood to Healthcare
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-hollywood-healthcare-lucien-harriot/
Working with movie studios for 25 years has taught us how to hone our narrative storytelling skills in order to boil a story down to its elements. This allows us to advance a plot in a 30-second timeframe, as is commonly seen in television commercials.
In corporate communications, complex biological processes can be represented in clear animations that bear little resemblance to the actual physiology inside all of us. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/educating-disease-awareness-using-animation-lucien-harriot

For the duration of the pandemic, healthcare congresses — normally hosting 50,000 attendees each — were shuttered. Doctors could not attend educational panels in person, resulting in the familiar trajectory of having all meetings over Zoom.

Reminiscence – Now Playing In Theaters & HBO Max
Background screens come in many colors — are you sure green is the right one for you?
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-use-green-screen-lucien-harriot/
One sight that’s ubiquitous in behind-the-scenes footage from movie sets is the green screen. Green screens are a way to insert backgrounds into a scene while avoiding the time-consuming and expensive process of rotoscoping (painting digitally frame by frame) around people.

Producers and directors used to run from portraying text messages in films — until they got the message that there is no place to hide. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/teasing-great-performance-out-texting-lucien-harriot/?trackingId=v6JhAc5jT3a6vMBywDncFA%3D%3D
Over the last 15 years, the use of texting and social media as essential plot elements in films has grown exponentially. At first, filmmakers were hesitant and pushed back.

Congratulations to all crew with films premiering in the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival. Mechanism Digital is very proud to have two films in this years festival, Catch the Fair One and Werewolves Within, on which our NYC studio supervised, designed and executed the Visual Effects for both. Working remotely in 2020 had its challenges including limited access to working in the studio and having to pivot our means of team/client communication. Our staff enthusiastically rose to the occasion and gave their all to help make these films shine. We wish success to all the films and the early return to this industry being back 100%.
