Science and Film Working Together

   The more animation and digital graphics evolve, the more it's necessary to involve physics.  Ron Henderson is a physicist who teaches at DreamWorks to help animators bring more realism into their creations. To learn how to create bubbles, the animators were given a demonstration with real bubbles along with a lesson on how they work and react with different things. Physicists, engineers, and even former NASA employees have begun working in the growing film field. Head of digital strategy for DreamWorks, Jim Mainard, said "often we end up at the same place, but from different directions." Which shows how both physics and animation are needed to make a whole. 

   I thought this article was very interesting. I didn't know that companies hired specifically scientists to work on the film along side animators. Or that many do it. It's cool to know just how many possitions are needed to create a quality film. I often forget how much science and math is put into animating.
