How Does a Scientific Movie Get Made?
• A Scientist Makes an Important Discovery
• Scientists are Really Bad at * Communicating a Vision
• A Visionary Communicates the Vision
to a Production Crew

Current Climate Visualization Production Pipeline
1. Collaborate with those who understand the climate trend
2. Identify the spatial and temporal ranges for the trend3. Obtain necessary model or historical data for
visualizing the trend4. Determine appropriate rendering technique per data
type5. Build the digital scene, Develop the Story6. Rendering and final editing

1. Collaborate with those who understand the climate trend
• An intermediary translates between the scientists and the artists
• Understanding is converted to narrative• The script produces narration, voiceover, audio
track• The shot list and storyboard are delivered to the
production crew

2. Identify the spatial and temporal ranges for the trend
• Spatial (Longitude-Latitude)
• Temporal (Date/Time)
• Prediction model or historical database gives this information.

3. Obtain necessary model or historical data for visualizing the
trendA. GIS layers -- “Environment” -- ContextB. GOES BAND 1 IR SatelliteC. Fixed Weather StationD. Moored BuoyE. River GageF. NEXRAD Level-IIG. Model Data, Historical Weather Event Data

4. Determine appropriate rendering technique per data type
• Vector Field, “Weather Vanes”, Streamlines
• Iso-Surfaces, Volume Rendering
• Color-Mapped Scalar-Valued Surfaces
• Binary Image-Mapped Surfaces

5. Build the digital scene, Develop the Story
• Plan the Shots [Storyboard]• Select camera position• Work on the Story-Telling• Iterate with the scientific and outreach groups • Develop the communication toward popular
understanding of the science.

6. Rendering and final editing
• Inter-cut elements from different visualization software sources
• Two-Dimensional Compositing and Effects
• Add titles, narration, additional explanatory elements

Future WorkScientific Visualization
• Discovery-to-Vision -- Weak Link
• Put the Story ahead of the Data
• The Data serves the Story– Not the other way around
Create the Story Development methodology for communicating about climate and the weather
