COVID-19 animation Transcript

[Purple and orange gradient background appears on screen while many blue and red animated viruses float and wiggle across the frame.]

[Purple and orange background changes colour into a dark navy blue background.]

[Small purple box appears in left hand corner with white text within it.]

Text on screen reads: Viruses invade our cells and force them to make new copies of the virus using the cell’s protein manufacturing system.

[blue and red animated viruses continue floating and wiggling on screen.]

[Scene fades into an an orange and purple gradient background as a 3D image of the Flu virus appears on the left hand side of the screen.]

[White text emerges in an orange text-box.]

Text on screen reads: Disease: The Flu Virus: Influenza Magnification: x30 million

[Different 3D representations of the Flu virus appear on screen, rotating and wiggling around the frame.]

[White text changes.]

Text on screen reads: The world’s first anti-flu drug was invented in Australia.

[White text changes.]

Text on screen reads: About half a million people died of the flu in 2017.

[Scene and background transition into a blue and red gradient background.]

[Small animated 3D red blood cells float across the screen from left to right. The red blood cells turn and rotate as they move.]

[Blue text box appears over the background and blood cells animation.]

[White text appears in blue box.]

Text on screen reads: Immune cells in your blood protect you from diseases.

[Background gradient changes to purple and green as the red blood cells and white text fade out of frame.]

[Scene transitions to a blue and green gradient background as a microscopic render of the COVID-19 virus appears on screen, in front of a blue, circular shape.]

[White text emerges on the right-hand side of the virus image.]

Text on screen reads: Disease: COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) Virus: SARS-CoV-2

[Render of the coronavirus rotates in a circle gently as very small copies of the virus float around in the background.]

[White text on screen changes.]

Text on screen reads: SARS CoV-2 is part of the coronavirus superfamily. It is similar to SARS and MERS.

[White text on screen changes.]

Text on screen reads: Coronavvirinae are a subfamily of these viruses that cause disease in humans, other mammals and birds.

[White text on screen changes.]

Text on screen reads: SARS CoV-2, like all coronaviruses, has protein spikes that attach to cell receptors and a lipid outer membrane, which helps it enter the host cell.

[Scene fades away and transitions into another purple and orange gradient background.]

[An orange and red 3D render of a virus appears on the left hand side of the screen as white text emerges next to it.]

Text on screen reads: Antibodies are an important part of our defence against viruses.

[Small blue 3D renders of antibodies emerge from the top and bottom of the screen, moving towards the virus and attaching themselves to it.]

[Scene ends and fades to black.]

[White text appears on screen.]

Text on screen reads: Scientists around the world are working towards a solution to this global pandemic. CSIRO is conducting key research on COVID-19 to help determine the characteristics of the current virus - a key step in developing a new vaccine.

[White text changes.]

Text on screen reads:

[CSIRO and Garvan Institute of Medical Research logos appear in the bottom of the screen in white.]

[Text and logos fade into black.]

[CSIRO logo and the words “Australia’s National Science Agency” appear in blue font against a white background.]
