What to Expect When Working with a Medical Animation Studio

Partnering with a medical animation studio is one of the smartest moves a healthcare brand can make when it comes to explaining complex science, launching new products, or educating patients and professionals. But if you’ve never worked with one before, you might be wondering what the process looks like—and what you should expect.

At Intervoke, we specialize in medical and healthcare animation that combines scientific accuracy with visual clarity. Whether you're a pharmaceutical company, medical device startup, or healthcare agency, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when partnering with a professional studio like ours.

A Discovery and Planning Phase

The first step is always discovery. We’ll meet with your team to understand your product, audience, goals, and scientific content. This phase ensures alignment from the start and gives us the information we need to develop an accurate and effective animation.

At this stage, you can expect to share any scientific references, product documentation, clinical data, or visual assets like logos, device renders, or previous marketing materials. We also discuss the desired style and tone—whether you're aiming for a photorealistic 3D look, simplified anatomy, or more patient-friendly visuals.

Scriptwriting and Storyboarding

Once the necessary information is gathered, our medical writers and creative team begin crafting a script and storyboard. The script outlines the narrative and voiceover content, while the storyboard presents a visual plan of each scene, including rough sketches, animation notes, and transitions.

You’ll review and approve both the script and storyboard before we move into production. This collaborative process ensures that all stakeholders are aligned on the scientific messaging, branding, and overall flow.

Voiceover and Audio Planning

If your animation includes narration, we’ll present a curated list of professional voice talents to match your brand tone. This is also the point where we plan any sound design, including music or subtle effects that enhance viewer engagement—particularly important for patient-facing or promotional content.

3D Modeling and Animation

This is where the visuals come to life. Our artists begin modeling, rigging, texturing, and animating based on the approved storyboard. If the project includes interactive elements, such as product demos or 3D anatomy experiences, we start building those components here as well.

Throughout this phase, we keep your team informed with visual previews and updates. This transparency allows you to stay involved and ensure everything aligns with your expectations and scientific accuracy.

Review and Revisions

Once we’ve completed a first version of the animation, you’ll receive a full draft for review. At this point, you can provide detailed feedback on pacing, visuals, audio, or accuracy. Revisions are a normal part of the workflow, and our goal is always to deliver a final product that meets your highest standards.

Final Delivery and Formats

After approval, we deliver the finished animation in the formats you need. This could include MP4, 4K, web-optimized files, or interactive formats for embedding in websites, apps, or e-learning platforms. We can also handle localization, including translated voiceovers, subtitles, and region-specific regulatory adaptations.

Ongoing Collaboration

Many of our clients continue working with us beyond a single animation. Once you experience the benefits of high-quality healthcare animation, you may want to build a series of assets—such as educational modules, MOA explainers, conference visuals, or sales training tools. We foster long-term relationships and often support clients through product launches, pitch decks, investor outreach, and ongoing marketing campaigns.
