Explain medical concepts to patients & staff with healthcare animation videos

Reading healthcare-related materials can be challenging for most people! On top of that, scientific terms and medical jargon can complicate things. With a moving visual aid, you can create entertaining and easy-to-understand communication for all. So, what's the best way to explain all your training and educational needs? Here's where video animation for healthcare comes in.

Healthcare Video Animation Styles

Whiteboard Explainers

2D Animation

Motion Graphics

First-Hand Explainers on a Whiteboard

In real-time, whiteboard explainer videos showcase dynamic footage of a human hand sketching visuals on a dry-erase board or other surface. Those clips are then sped up with a time-lapse effect and enhanced with color, movement, and other animation techniques to create a captivating visual learning experience. Whiteboard animations are inherently compelling due to the mesmerizing effects of watching a story unfold through colorful and animated illustrations.

Bring Stories to Life with 2D Animation

Combining 2D illustrations sequenced to tell an engaging story is one of the best animation styles you can use. It gives your audience the illusion of movement, enhancing explanation for your staff & clients. This traditional animation style engages viewers with its powerful imagery and vibrant graphics. And these are all important when explaining specific healthcare industry procedures. Presenting processes like insurance and training-related video content doesn't need to be bland!

Create Elevated Visual with Motion Graphics

Instantly add clarity to complex and sometimes *boring* subjects with motion graphics animation. Adding movement and dynamic transitions to illustrations, icons and text achieves a cleaner and more professional look than other animation styles, ideal for healthcare audiences. If data sets, charts, or other monotonous forms of information could use a visual boost, motion graphics animation is a terrific way to add life and color to critical messaging. From details around health insurance copays and deductibles to administrative training, motion graphics animation offers the polish you need to stand out.

Our 5-Step Video Production Process

01 Kickoff Call

We begin with a call to get aligned on the project at a high level. We’ll discuss your overall goals for the video, messaging, audience, channels, and call-to-action. We’ll also dive into the creative process, discussing color palette, branding considerations, voice-over preference, and more.

02 Script & Voice-Over

Working with our team of writers, we will take all the material from the Kick Off Call, as well as other materials, documents, and references, and turn it into a wonderful script that matches your preferred voice and tone. Once approved, we will also source voice-over talent based on your preferences.

03 Storyboard

After scripting, we jump right into the storyboard. In this step, we break down the video panel by panel, sequence by sequence, and create rough, loose sketches to convey the overall visual direction. Here is when the video begins to come to life visually!

04 Illustration

Depending on your video style, we will create the polished final illustrations, graphics and assets that will go into the video animation. This is when our in-house team of illustrators get to really shine.

05 Final Edit

Once everything is ready, we generate the final animated edit. Everything is sequenced together, music and sound effects are added in, the voice-over is synced up, and the final video is rendered out. Congrats! You now have a final animated video.
