FAQs

Answers to common questions about our process, services, and how we work.

1. What kind of clients do you work with?

We partner directly with pharma brands, Medical Affairs teams, and medcomms agencies who value scientific accuracy and thoughtful design. From complex biotech startups developing cell and gene therapies to established global healthcare brands, we adapt our approach to your specific healthcare communication needs.

2. What medical animation services do you offer?

Our core services focus on 3D medical animation, high-end CGI, and motion design. We specialise in Mechanism of Action (MoA) videos, disease awareness campaigns, medical device visualisation, and HCP education. Our Creative Directors support you from initial storyboards and scientific previs through to final delivery.

3. How do you ensure scientific accuracy?

Accuracy is our baseline. We plug into your existing teams and collaborate directly with the people who understand your science best. We avoid adding additional layers to the production process, ensuring your complex scientific messaging remains intact.

4. What is your typical medical project timeline?

Timelines vary based on complexity, but most 3D medical animations take 6 to 12 weeks from concept to delivery. We structure the process carefully around the realities of pharma review. By treating MLR compliance as a core design parameter rather than a late stage hurdle, we reduce review friction and keep your project on schedule.

5. Can you build scalable toolkits for global campaigns?

We know many medical animations and 3D models are commissioned for a single purpose and become costly to adapt. We build scalable 3D asset systems and project templates from the start. This approach prevents repeated rebuilds and ensures your visual assets can be efficiently versioned for different languages, markets, and omnichannel formats without a loss in visual quality.

6. How many revisions are included in the process?

Our process is highly collaborative. Rather than presenting multiple disconnected concepts, our senior team focuses on one strong, scientifically accurate direction that is refined through structured feedback. The number of revisions depends on the project scope, but clarity and alignment with your regulatory stakeholders are our priority from day one.
