Design-led medical animation, built in direct collaboration. For the realities of pharma review and rollout.

Accuracy.
We plug into your existing teams and collaborate directly with the people who understand your science best. Working with pharma brands, Medical Affairs teams, regulatory stakeholders, and creative agency partners, we avoid adding additional layers to help carry your complex scientific messaging from brief to screen with clarity intact.

Design.
Mainframe creates design-led medical animation that brings clarity to complex science. We believe strong motion design can communicate difficult ideas quickly, shape understanding, and create a level of engagement that purely technical visuals often cannot.

Scalability.
Many medical animations are commissioned for a single purpose, then become costly and inefficient to adapt when new audiences, markets, or formats are needed. Without the right planning, this can lead to repeated rebuilds, inconsistent outputs, and a gradual loss of clarity or visual quality as campaigns expand.

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