Training people remember

Most people already know the rules. The hard part is getting them to remember and act on them. Animation helps because it can show the moment just before something goes wrong, slow it down and play it again, without anyone being put at risk.

We have made safety films for Network Rail employees, a staff awareness campaign on dengue fever for Merck, step by step films for patients using a Respimat inhaler and a reusable internal news package for GSK. Each one had to be clear first and memorable second, and each audience was different.

Animation also travels well. There is no location to film and no cast to recall when a procedure changes, and one film can be voiced for staff around the world. Our film for Air bp went out in eight languages.

Training and learning films we have made

Safety campaigns, patient instructions, staff awareness and internal communication, for teams large and small.

What you get

We shape each film around what people need to know or do differently afterwards. These are the things most of our training projects include.

  • Short, focused films

    Films of around one to three minutes each, so a single message lands and the film fits inside a training session or on an intranet page.

  • A series when there is more to say

    One topic per film when there is a lot to cover, like the four Respimat films and the four Network Rail films.

  • Characters your staff recognise

    A cast designed around your workplace and your people, used across the whole series so every film feels part of one campaign.

  • Script and storyboard

    We can write from your procedures or work from your own script, and you sign off the storyboard before any animation starts.

  • Versions for every screen

    Files for your learning platform, intranet, presentations and training room screens, with subtitles or other languages when you need them.

  • Stills for the rest of the course

    Matching illustrations for slides, posters and handbooks, as we made for the Air bp presentations.

How it works

  1. Brief.

    We learn what your people need to know or do differently, who is watching and where they will watch it.

  2. Script and storyboard.

    We turn your procedures into a short script and a storyboard, and your subject experts check the facts.

  3. Design.

    Characters and a visual style are designed and agreed, keeping the look clear and friendly.

  4. Animate and review.

    We animate the film and share it at key stages, with review rounds for your team and your safety or compliance leads.

  5. Deliver.

    The final films come to you in the formats your platforms need, with any language versions and stills.

Questions training teams ask

How long should a training video be?

Short enough to hold attention. For most topics we suggest one to three minutes per film, and a series of short films rather than one long one when there is more to cover.

Why use animation rather than filming?

Animation can show dangers without putting anyone at risk, explain things a camera cannot see, such as what happens inside a machine or a medicine, and be updated or translated without a reshoot. It also keeps one consistent look across a whole series.

Can you work from our existing procedures and slides?

Yes. We can turn existing procedures, slides or campaign designs into a script and storyboard, and your subject experts check every step before we animate. Our Network Rail films began from safety campaign designs developed by the agency RY.

Can the films be made in other languages?

Yes. Animation is easy to voice again and on screen words can be swapped, so one film can serve a workforce in many countries. Our Air bp film was translated into eight languages.

How many rounds of changes are included?

Review rounds are agreed at the start and built into the script, storyboard and animation stages, so accuracy is checked before anything is final.

Who owns the finished films?

Usage rights are agreed in writing before work begins, so you know exactly where and for how long the films can be used.
