Healthcare Animation and Video Production

Introduction

Hocus Pocus Studio is a BAFTA-nominated London animation studio specialising in award-winning medical and healthcare animation for drug launches, patient awareness campaigns, HCP education, and new treatments. We also produce healthcare video content for pharma and medical teams. Animation and video help explain complex ideas with clarity, supporting teams from the cellular level to a global view.

We also create explainer videos for finance and tech.

What is Healthcare Animation?

Healthcare animation explains complex medical ideas clearly - from cellular processes to global patient impact. At Hocus Pocus Studio, we create award-winning medical animations for pharma, biotech, and healthcare agencies, supporting drug launches, HCP training, and patient awareness. Our team also produces healthcare video content when a mixed approach is needed.

Our Work in Healthcare

We have worked with leading global healthcare agencies to deliver impactful, engaging healthcare animation for events, websites, social media, internal comms, exhibitions, and sales aids. While much of our work is confidential, here are a few examples of medical animations we can share:

Healthcare Video Production

Alongside animation, we produce healthcare videos for medical teams who need clear, accurate, and compliant content. This includes mixed media films, patient journeys, research explainers, training videos, and internal comms. Some projects use animation only, while others combine filmed material with graphic elements for clarity and impact. Our approach is shaped by clinical accuracy, strong storytelling, and careful compliance with medical guidance.

How Much Does a Healthcare Animation Cost?

A healthcare animation can range from £10,000 to £50,000+ depending on length, complexity, and whether new assets (such as filmed material) are required. Most projects sit in the mid-range.

Our process ensures:

• Attention to detail
• Full legal and medical compliance
• Multiple storyboard and preview stages for approvals

We pride ourselves on high standards and competitive pricing, supported by exceptional creative talent.

How Long Does It Take to Make a Healthcare Animation?

Typically 6-10 weeks, depending on complexity and review cycles.

Our standard process includes:

1. Brief - the most important stage; clarity here saves time later.
2. Creative Development - styleframes and storyboards (3 rounds).
3. Animatic - timed sketches with voiceover to lock pacing.
4. Animation - typically 3 preview rounds before final delivery.
5. Launch - ready for events, websites, social, or sales use.

Additional FAQs

Do you offer healthcare video production as well as animation?

Yes. We create both healthcare animation and healthcare video content for pharma, hospitals, biotech, and medical agencies. Some projects are fully animated, while others combine filmed material with graphics or 3D to improve clarity. We guide clients on the best approach depending on the audience, compliance needs, and message.

Why is animation effective for medical training and HCP education?

Animation can simplify highly complex concepts - from molecular processes to patient pathways - into clear, visual stories. This makes training faster, more engaging, and more consistent across global teams.

What formats can you deliver healthcare animations in?

We typically supply HD or 4K video files optimised for events, websites, and social platforms. We can also provide stills, cutdowns, and subtitled versions to meet regional compliance needs.

What’s the difference between a healthcare video and a healthcare animation?

A healthcare video can take many forms - from live action patient testimonials to corporate films. A healthcare animation uses 2D or 3D graphics to clearly explain complex medical processes, drug mechanisms, or patient pathways. Both approaches can be combined, depending on the project.
