BBC Knowledge Explainer DNA from Territory on Vimeo.
This short history of DNA from the BBC really knocks it out of the park, both artistically and scientifically.
Territory Studio was commissioned to create the video, part of a series of three-minute-ish explainer documentaries. Lead designer and animator Will Samuel explained the process behind it on Vimeo:
Writer Andrew S. Walsh and molecular biologist Matthew Adams worked together to distill the history of DNA down to the basics, but the result isn't dumbed down. The video takes you from the just-the-facts chemistry on DNA to where research on it might go in the future.
