Scenes also serve as clips for teaching, documenting and preserving the accuracy of science through film.
They are precisely unedited and raw. There are meant to be recycled and repositioned into a different context in which they can be framed as cinematic experiences.
Visualization of global precipitation and wind speed
Combined visualization of precipitation and wind velocity during July 2013. Both datasets collected from ERA5, 1 hour temporal resolution.
The original data was converted to OpenVDB format using proprietary tools, and loaded into Houdini for visual encoding: The wind velocity vector field was used to advect particles while the precipitation values were mapped on the size and color of bars. Final render with Arnold.
