Project timline:
No strict deadline with early-bird discount
Review:
1 zoom call + 7 email feedback sessions
Find out which of our 26 scientific animation options works best for investor relations and communications:
This project included four review steps, giving the client complete control over the result with only a few hours of time invested. This approach is especially beneficial for early-stage companies where C-level executives handle all communication and review processes and have no time to teach the vendor. We believe in carefully-designed production to save time for all stakeholders. Since the Apton team planned the project ahead of the deadline, we were able to offer an early bird discount.
Why did we use this
animation type?
Apton uses our medical animations in investor decks and at industry events. High-impact presentation on large LED panels requires eye-catching graphics and superior 4K resolution. We combined stunning 3D graphics with 2D animated infographics to describe Apton's technology, adding captions to make everything crystal clear.
In terms of visual impact and audience engagement, 3D animation has no competition - especially on large screens. For this reason, we delivered striking, scientifically rigorous 3D molecular graphics. We then added a 2D schematic layer to clearly describe the complex mechanism, which is effective for both investor relations and scientific communication for biotech in our experience.
