Objective

I had the opportunity to work with Microsoft on a project aimed at educating healthcare professionals about the revolutionary potential of AI-driven cancer research, specifically in collaboration with UHN. The goal was to communicate complex scientific concepts—such as precision medicine and data analysis across multiple cancer treatment platforms—in an accessible and engaging way.

Solution

With a focus on clarity and engagement, I developed a series of 3D and 2D animations in Cinema 4D and After Effects to demystify the roles of PharmacoDB, SYNERGx, and CReSCENT within AI-powered cancer treatment. Drawing on research and scientific visual references, I created simplified models of cancer cells and other cellular structures to make the material both visually approachable and scientifically accurate.

Beyond animation, I was responsible for setting up interviews, including lighting, camera positioning, and lavalier microphone placement, ensuring high production quality. I also captured b-roll and time-lapse footage to enhance storytelling, and handled the film’s editing and color correction to maintain a polished and cohesive visual style.

By blending technical expertise with storytelling, my contributions supported Microsoft’s mission to educate healthcare professionals and highlight AI’s transformative potential in cancer research.
