This holiday season we were inspired by the intricate design and singular journey of a snowflake, so we set out to capture this fleeting wonder with animation.
The science of a snowflake is exceptionally complex. These crystals can take many forms and shapes, from the bullet rosette shaped pendulum to the granite crystals. We decided to focus on the iconic six-branched snowflake, also known as a stellar snow crystal. The growth of the hexagonal prism into the six-branched snowflake showcases symmetry and complexity at the same time. We recognized a similar parallel in human beings.
This busy holiday season, we would like to take the time to appreciate our uniqueness and wish you a moment of peace and tranquillity as you watch The Science of a Snowflake. Enjoy!
