Healthcare and research animation
We help health and research organisations explain complex ideas and talk about difficult subjects. Our work includes research initiatives, tools for researchers, mental health resources and animations about bereavement.
Talk to us about your animationMake the research understandable
A research initiative can need more explanation than a headline allows. Animation gives you a way to introduce the subject, show relationships that are difficult to film and help an audience understand why the work matters.
For Diabetes UK, we made three animations promoting the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge. The work balanced an introduction to the biology with the initiative’s ambition to fast-track research. For Oxford University’s Pandemic Sciences Institute, the task was different: explain what Pandemic PACT does and how its data can help researchers, funders and decision-makers.
Handle sensitive subjects with care
A resource for a bereaved family needs a different approach from a research launch. The audience, language and emotional tone shape the script and the visual decisions.
On Child Bereavement UK’s Grief animation, we worked with the charity’s team to develop a script for both children who had lost a parent and adults who had lost a child. We showed a range of people and situations, with a visual style related to earlier films but suited to a wider audience. The animation was created for the charity’s website and social channels, and as an educational resource for counsellors.
Diabetes UK
Type 1 Grand Challenge
Three animations introducing the biology behind type 1 diabetes and the Grand Challenge’s research ambitions. We developed the illustration language from Claire Harrison at West 9 Design’s visual identity, with narration by Shiraz Engineer.
Pandemic Sciences Institute
Pandemic PACT
An introduction to a platform that tracks research funding and results for diseases with pandemic potential. Simple shapes and a visual language developed from the logo’s dot motif helped explain abstract relationships.
Child Bereavement UK
Grief
An animation for children who have lost a parent and adults who have lost a child. The script was developed with Child Bereavement UK for use by families and counsellors, as well as on the charity’s digital channels.
Student Minds
Mental health
A series of animations made with Student Minds to help students with their mental health.
