Henderson is an intellectual, talented physicist who took up a career in the movie business. Companies that work in animation consult physicists like Henderson for help with special effects. In one movie alone, there could be hundreds of scenes with fire special effects, so Henderson's team splits up their time to efficiently create the effects. It's a complicated process to take an animated image and put it on a 3d object. The physics need to be right and that would take time and effort.
I do not envy this man's job. This sounds like hard work, and the only thing I know about physics is that I can't fly and gravity is a jerk. I like that they actually consult physicists for help on these matters. I know that animating something with perfect physics is very difficult, especially when it comes down to water and fire. So I don't see myself animating perfect bubbles any time soon. Maybe some almost completely transparent spheres, that kind of look like bubbles.
