Client: University of Dundee
Purpose: To create an interactive and animated resource explaining the presentation, symptoms, and causes of polycystic kidney disease. This included developing a detailed, realistic 3D model to show how the disease appears and impacts kidney function, followed by an animation produced in After Effects to explore the condition in greater depth.
Audience: Medical students.

Research and Script Writing:
To begin this project, I conducted in-depth visual research on the appearance of polycystic kidneys in their final stages, as well as how existing 3D models of the condition are typically presented. I then carried out narrative research to better understand the disease, examining its causes, progression, symptoms, and available treatments. Based on this research, I developed a script and an asset list, along with a detailed sketch of a realistic polycystic kidney, which served as the foundation for my 3D model.
Storyboard:
Using the asset list and script, I created a rough storyboard to outline when, where, and how each visual element would appear on screen. This helped ensure that the visuals aligned with the narrative and effectively reinforced key concepts throughout the piece.
