We’ll start by getting to know you and your research and understanding your goals and target audience.

Our artists will bring your subject and ideas to life with each frame, effectively conveying your intended message and connecting with your target audience.

Our team of award-winning artists is well-trained and highly experienced in making sure that visual representations of the science are intuitive, memorable and as accurate as possible.

Taking your research beyond academic journals and conferences
While scientific and academic research is the cutting edge of human knowledge, sometimes it can take a long time for new findings, information and practices to make it into the real world, where they can make a practical difference.
People who really need or could benefit from the new information are often too busy to read whole papers, or perhaps they speak another language, or maybe they’re just not academically minded and so find it difficult to take in the information when it’s presented to them in this way.
This disconnect can cost time, money, and potentially lives as people working on the ground continue to do so in sub-optimal and inefficient ways.
Recent scientific studies have shown that animations shared via social media increase how many people are likely to read the original paper, ensuring that the products of the research are disseminated beyond the academic community and improve comprehension, understanding and learning across a wide range of learning and personality types.
Our passion for creating high-quality academic and translational animations stems from the fact that not only do we get to learn a multitude of amazing new things, but we also get to be a small part of the solution to a fundamental problem in our society: that of connecting key knowledge to those who need it the most, no matter who or where they are.
Customised solutions for researchers, academics and universities
Explainer animations designed to:
Simplify complex concepts for non-specialist audiences
Enhance presentations, lectures and online courses
Improve public understanding and engagement
Support funding applications and public engagement initiatives
We’ve spent years working with leading institutions to transform groundbreaking research into visually compelling stories. Every project we undertake is guided by our commitment to clarity, creativity, and collaboration.
Maximising value
We can create multiple versions of your animation, with each version tailored to meet the requirements of different audiences. For instance, you can get the same visuals revoiced with simpler language for public use whilst maintaining a professional version for industry experts, saving on the costs of producing a new film.
Reach a wider audience
Your explainer animation can be seamlessly translated into other languages and made to look like it was created in that language, with both the voiceover and onscreen text translated and replaced.
Simple, transparent pricing
Here at CC Animation Studio, we believe in clear and upfront pricing
Thanks to our years of experience working within the academic world, we can provide you with an accurate quote. Plus, our quotes are adjusted for inflation, so you can include them in your funding bids years in advance!
