We were recently hired to create a logo for the Division of General Surgery at UHN. While most of our day-to-day work is focused on 3D-animations and video editing to help teach complex surgical procedures, we’ve occasionally been contracted out to do some design work, including a logo for the High School Outreach Initiative (HSOI) … Read More
At TVASurg we love making engaging educational videos for teaching surgery. All members of our production team are graduates of the esteemed Biomedical Communications program at the University of Toronto–Mississauga, where we received focused training on communicating topics in life science with the same techniques used in the 3D animation industry. These include modelling, rigging, … Read More
The annual Association of Medical Illustrators meeting has just wrapped up, and this year TVASurg production team members gave TWO presentations! What follows is a summary of the “tech talk” Senior Biomedical Communicator Paul Kelly gave on using the software 3DFlow Zephyr for making photogrammetry-based 3D models for surgical subjects. https://youtu.be/tnGmrtAtYT4
With every project we work on together as a team, we learn new techniques for creating our educational content, and continuously refine our production process. We recently completed an anterolateral thigh perforator flap harvest technique for our ENT section of videos. We’d like to use this case study example to give an overview of our … Read More
We are often asked about the tools and techniques used in our workflow. For the 3D animations in TVASurg videos, there are actually several different 3D software tools we use for different aspects of production. We always try to obtain patient-specific imaging scans to reconstruct into 3D models, as these rough reconstructions are the first … Read More
