Explainer Pro — Cinematic Medical Animation

The problem

You need investor-grade visuals. You don't have $50,000.

Traditional medical animation studios charge $50,000–$150,000 for a single MOA video. The process takes three to six months, involves twenty-person teams, and was designed for Big Pharma budgets — not Series A startups.

But your investors, your board, and your market need to see your science in motion. A great MOA animation can turn a thirty-second explanation into something a non-scientist can feel. You need that. You just don't need to pay for it twice.

Cost comparison: Traditional studio vs Explainer Pro

The solution

Studio-quality medical animation.
Startup pricing. Two-week turnaround.

Cinematic Quality

Every frame is built with the same rigor as a traditional studio — scientifically accurate, visually compelling, and designed to hold up in a boardroom or at a conference.

5–10× More Affordable

Our AI-assisted pipeline eliminates the overhead of a large studio without compromising the output. A 60-second MOA starts at $5,000 — not $50,000.

3–4× Faster Delivery

Two weeks from brief to final cut. Not two months. We fit your fundraising timelines, not the other way around.

Our process

From kickoff to final cut in two weeks.

Day 1–2

Brief & Script

We get into the science together. You brief us on the biology; we turn it into a narrative script and visual brief for your approval.

Day 3–5

Style Frames

Key frames showing the visual language, color palette, and scene composition. You approve before we go into production.

Day 6–11

Animation & Sound

Full animation production with voiceover, music, and sound design. You see a rough cut on day 8.

Day 12–14

Revisions & Delivery

Up to three rounds of revisions. Final delivery in broadcast-quality formats, ready for investors, conferences, and web.

Who we work with

We made this for you.

Series A and B biotech founders preparing for investor roadshows and board presentations who need visuals that match the ambition of their science.
Medtech startups explaining novel devices to surgeons, investors, and procurement committees — where a clear picture is worth a thousand words in an RFP.
Marketing leads at emerging biotech companies building a brand presence for the first time, with limited budgets and tight conference deadlines.
Pre-clinical and clinical-stage companies that need to explain complex mechanisms to non-scientists — including patients, caregivers, and the press.
Agencies and consultants who need a reliable, high-quality animation partner to deliver under their brand without studio overhead.

About

A two-person studio with twenty years of experience.

We've spent two decades inside medical animation — at the studios that charge $50,000 a minute. We know exactly how the sausage is made. We know which parts of that process produce value, and which parts are overhead you shouldn't have to pay for.

In 2023, we rebuilt our pipeline around AI-assisted production. Not to cut corners — to cut costs. The scientific rigor, the visual quality, the human judgment: those stay. The six-month timeline and the bloated invoice: those don't.

Explainer Pro is what we built for the companies we wish had existed when we were on the studio side. Two people. Full accountability. No handoffs, no junior staff, no surprises.

FAQ

Questions worth answering.

How accurate is the science in your animations?

We work from your published research, your IND/NDA filings, and direct collaboration with your scientific team. Every animation goes through a scientific review round before we lock the script. We've produced animations for FDA submission support — accuracy is non-negotiable.

What do you need from us to get started?

A 60-minute kickoff call with whoever understands the science — your CSO, lead researcher, or yourself. Any existing slides, papers, or visual references you have. That's it. We take it from there.

Can I see the script and storyboard before animation begins?

Yes — we never enter production without your sign-off on the script and style frames. You'll see exactly what we're building before a single frame is animated.

How many revisions are included?

Three rounds of revisions are included in every package. In our experience that's always been enough. If your requirements change materially mid-production — new data, regulatory shifts, pivot in messaging — we'll discuss scope together. We won't surprise you with an invoice.

Do you work under NDA?

Always. We sign a mutual NDA before any scientific information is shared. Your data, mechanisms, and unpublished results stay confidential.

What formats do you deliver in?

Broadcast-quality MP4 at 4K, a compressed web version, and a loop version if applicable. We can also deliver as MOV with alpha channel for embedding in presentations. Source files are available on request.

Can you match our existing brand guidelines?

Yes. Send us your brand guide and we'll integrate your color palette, typography, and visual language from day one. If you don't have a brand guide yet, we can help establish a visual identity through the animation itself.
