Frequently Asked Questions
The abbreviation stands for “mode of action” or “mechanism of action,”-i.e., the way an active substance works. In pharma communication, this is one area in which 3D animation company are particularly useful. Other areas include mechanism of disease (MoD), patient or consumer information, and instructional videos to explain the use of medical devices.
Our recommendation is 1 to 2 minutes, to avoid overtaking the viewer’s attention. The general guidelines are
1. The shorter the better.
2. Focus on one topic per health animation film.
For subjects that require a more in-depth explanation, we suggest separating the film into individual modules or chapters.
The first stage in the creation of a 3D Medical Animation is consists of developing a suitable storyboard, which usually takes about one week. The actual production takes around 4 to 6 weeks. In between, there are several feedback rounds.
The most common question we get is “How much do you charge for an animation?” or “How much does a one minute medical animation cost?”
The short answer is: “It depends”. On this link, we are trying to explain our pricing in more detail. The exact cost of a medical animation project depends on several factors:
- Length
- Complexity
- Style
The final video belongs to you as the client and includes the global buyout. It includes all rights for copyright and usage in all media.
The storyline is a short description of the overall story, containing the key points and our ideas for possible graphical settings. It usually spans half a page and is an integral part of our proposals.
The storyboard, on the other hand, as the result of the intense conceptual phase, is a very detailed document that needs to be approved by the client and forms the binding basis for further production. It contains drawings and written descriptions of the later animations, as well as a referenced speaker’s text that is ready to be recorded.
No. All our work is created for the individual needs of our clients.
Yes. All of our films are delivered in MP4 format, so that they can easily be transferred to the iPad via iTunes. Of course, we are also happy to provide you with other formats if desired.
As a standard service, we provide our customers with videos in MP4 format with a frame refresh rate of 30 FPS. Depending on the length of the animation, the size of these videos is between 100 and 200 MB. They are playable on Windows PCs as well as Apple systems and mobile devices.
If you are planning to embed the animations in a PowerPoint presentation, we would recommend an additional version in WMV format. If, for any reason, you only have a limited data volume at your disposal, please contact us. We can compress the videos even more and bring their size down to below 50 MB.
