Description:


    This short film explores a new way of visualizing the elementary interactions between oxygen and a number of other basic elements, in a way that makes it not only educational for a young audience, but also entertaining. The basic premise is to make scientific visualization more accessible to the average viewer by casting the periodic elements as elementary school students and exploring the difficulties that can arise from their attempts to be friends because of the way they react to one another.
