-   * animations for communication and education (animations without physical systems restrains or models)
-     * proposed specialty in medical illustration for biochemical systems
-     * multidisciplinary teams including chemists, biologists, computer scientists, illustrators, animators, etc.
-   * animations for scientific discovery, using physical systems
-     * physical models for biological systems require super-computer simulations
-     * physical simulations at the atomic level run in time-frames with very fine temporal resolution (<= ns), which is about an order of magnitude finer than biological systems simulations (>= ms)
-     * is it premature to expect physical modeling to apply to cellular biochemical systems?

+   * Animations for insight and discovery or publications?
+     * Scientists may use short real-time, interactive animations to gain insight into systems.
+     * Detailed or complex animations or graphics may be time consuming, only required for important communications.
+     * Course modeling and rendering for quick, easy perception vs. artistic modeling or rendering for publications.

+   * Movie studio packages vs. molecular software packages
+     * Studio packages (eg, Maya, Blender) are "blind" to molecular properties.
+     * Molecular software (eg, Chimera, pymol, MGLTools, etc.) are not built with sophisticated animation GUIs.
+   * What about integrated systems for "live" molecular models in animation suites?
+     * eg: [http://molecularmovies.com Molecular Maya] and ePMV (MGLTools)
+   * Learning animation suites (Maya, Blender, etc.)
+     * Animation suites have steep learning curves.
+     * Most scientists have not learned animation suites.
+     * Scientists interested in molecular animations are familiar with Chimera, PyMol, MGLTools, etc.
+     * How do we facilitate simple animations for scientists?
