Project Goal
Create a short eye-catching 3D MoA animation for investor communication.
Tumor sites in the digestive tract
Peptide-drug conjugate in disordered conformation
Normal vs tumor tissue in esophagus
“It has been an eye-opening journey for us. As bench scientist, we seem to be quite far a way from "art". We basically just described our MOA in the language we are familiar with, then we received super cute hand-drawn illustrations that translated our plain language to color for graphics.
We are amazed by the detailed and sophisticated work conducted by Visual Science. A short animation is actually built up with multilayer of science, molecular dynamics, and modern art. During the process of completing the project, Visual Science team really tried their best to integrate our ideas. That's amazing.”

The Process
Animation type:
High-End 3D + Deck 3D
Project timline:
6 weeks
Review:
4 zoom calls + 4 e-mail feedback sessions
Team:
Find out which of our 26 scientific animation options works best for investor relations and communications:
The project had a very tight schedule, so we had to modify our well-established workflow, which consists of 5 production steps and 4 intermediate review steps. We started the process of 3D modeling, animation and lookdev earlier than usual in order to meet the important hard deadlines. Cooperation with our client was smooth and very productive, with timely turnaround and feedback on both sides. Our expedited production approach worked perfectly for this case, allowing our team to find the right balance between the complexity of the project, the client's goals and our production resources.
Why did we use this
animation type?
For this project, we developed and implemented the new 2D pathway animation style, which combines beautifully rendered static visualizations, 2D infographic design with captions and labels, and a simple motion design approach. This animation type proved very effective in terms of storytelling, eye-catching, and convenience for production. The media package also included a short High-end 3D animation fragment, which can be used to visually explain the client team’s core findings.
