At the end of 2020, Raimond Ravelli received funding from the Science Communication program of the Dutch Research Agenda for the project. Ravelli spent eighteen months working on the animation, together with a team of scientists and designers, including his colleague Kèvin Knoops, who earned his Ph.D. with research into the SARS
Various animations about the virus were produced in the course of the epidemic, says Claus."Those animations generally dealt with issues such as why you should wash your hands and wear a face mask. None of them represented the life cycle of the virus itself or incorporated real-life microscopic images as we have done now.
According to Knoops, the animation will also help to create a better understanding of the life cycle of most other similar viruses, since those viruses are basically the same and only differ in the details.The researchers hope to reach a wide audience with the animation: from schoolchildren to a slightly older audience. The researchers also hope that the beautiful images and music will prove intriguing to people who know nothing at all about viruses and cells.
