Vancouver-based director/animator Henrique Barone, whose directing work and many collaborations we track here, leverages a lighthearted tone and a flurry of design styles to keep interest levels high in this TED-ed explainer.

Henrique Barone: “This witty and almost five-minute long lesson by USC research scholar Tejal Gala was the perfect ground to push my career towards directing more, managing projects longer than a loop for social media and teams bigger than only myself.

“Step out of your capsule (if you dare) and learn all about the surprising effects of outer space on the human body.”
