Fields Medal Awards: James Maynard
Client: International Math Union
The Fields Medals are the highest awards in mathematics
and presented every four years to four recipients.
I was given the opportunity to translate the work for two
of the four recipients into animation to be shown at the International Math Union ceremony that broadcast globally.
For this winner, James Maynard, I visualized his work with prime numbers and Diophantine Approximation to be more easily understood by a more general audience.
Script Translation
Storyboards
Styleframes
Motion Design
I was provided a section of the script and the name of the mathematician to research. From there I created and pitched storyboards, styleframes, and the implemented animation.
(Final styleframes versus storyboards shown below.)
Animator and producer Kolin Pope provided final editing
and animation assistance.
