Jellyfish Pictures is delighted to announce that Inside the Human Body has received a nomination in the Digital Effects category in the RTS Craft & Design Awards 2010/2011.  The winner will be announced at the Awards evening on Monday 21 November 2011.

Produced for BBC One, Jellyfish Pictures worked principally on Episode 1 - Creation, which follows the story of conception inside the female body.  In the episode, the viewer travels with the sperm as it makes its epic journey through all the hurdles and challenges presented to it by the female defence systems and the one in twenty million chance it has of successfully fertilising the female egg. We follow it as it is remarkably laid to rest until the egg is ready to receive it. Simultaneously we see the egg being formed in the ovaries and its release and journey down the fallopian tubes where it eventually meets the one successful sperm at its moment of calling.

In a discussion with Radio 4's Mark Lawson, Science Journalist and Presenter Dr Adam Rutherford said: "I've spent a lot of my life looking at representations of the inside of the human body, both healthy and diseased, and I can't think of a more striking example of the CGI that they've used in this series."
