Showreel
“Amazing at executing on the vision far beyond our expectations giving our concept life and enormous educational impact."
— Jorge Mouro - Scientific Director
What we do
Cortical Studios is specialized in the design, production and implementation of custom high-end biomedical 3D animations and illustrations for video, broadcast, print, and interactive multimedia. Whether you want an animation of your new mRNA technology or an illustration showing the mechanism of your nanoparticle, we have the in-depth scientific knowledge to translate the information into a stylish understandable visual message.
We specialize in creating detailed 3D animations that showcase the mechanism of action (MoA) of various drugs and therapies. Additionally, we excel in explaining how normal physiology transitions into disease through our Mechanism of Disease (MoD) animations. Our services are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of complex medical concepts in a visually engaging manner.
We stay involved with the client every step of the process of translating the concept into a comprehensible visual message. Working closely with you, we will research your project, consult with experts, illustrate storyboards, develop a wireframe motion study, create the final detailed animation and integrate it into the medium you desire. We customize the animation for the potential clients, adjusting the amount of complexity for the instruction of medical specialists, physicians, chemists, patients, students or the general public.
“An impressive visualization which turned out to be a great tool to convey complex information in an informative and beautiful to watch movie.”
— Günther Metz - SVP Business Development
Animation
The ability to produce 3D animations, which are crystal clear for communication purposes as well as stylish in their appearance, enables us to create leading edge digital solutions for your company. We are devoted to creating the ideal communication tool for you. Since 2001, we have honed our skills as true craftsmen, refining the blend of science and graphics, earning accolades such as first place at the Global Awards and multiple gold medals at the New York Festivals. Our aspiration is to tell your narrative as beautifully as we can.
While each project is unique, they all share a common thread: the gratification of witnessing science evolve into something visually stunning, step by step, and transform into an efficient communication tool. You likely have a general idea of how you would like to articulate your scientific concepts, and we are enthusiastic about collaborating, brainstorming, and offering our insights to ensure maximal impact.
We take pleasure in delving into the intricacies of your scientific research and have the capacity to visualize all biology-related subjects. Here are some of the fields for which we have designed award-winning film productions:
“The responses have been very positive and they are especially due to the animations and their background meaning and the various layers in the film.”
