Visual effects (VFX) and animation are transformative for science communication because they visualise the invisible. Many scientific phenomena—from the microscopic dance of molecules to the vast collision of galaxies—cannot be captured by traditional cameras. Animation bridges this gap, providing a "window" into processes that are too small, fast, or distant for the human eye.

These tools provide:

• Clarity: 3D animations break down complex mechanisms, such as gene editing, making them far more digestible than text.

• Narrative Power: VFX can place viewers inside a bloodstream or a black hole, creating an immersive, memorable experience.

• Universal Understanding: By removing language barriers through motion, animation ensures that high-level research is accessible to a global, non-expert audience.
