Animation for councils, NHS and family services

Public service messages only work if people watch them. We make friendly, clear animation that helps residents, patients and families understand what’s on offer and how to use it.

Case study · Kent County Council

Tiny Triumphs

Kent County Council asked us to turn early-years support for parents into short, friendly films that local families would want to watch and share. We produced 16 animations following one cartoon family through everyday parenting moments.

We produced the whole series in Blender: character design, sets, rigging, lighting, camera work, voice direction, sound mix and the final edit.

What we make for public services

Animated series for Family Hubs

A set of short films with recurring characters, so families get to know them and come back for the next one.

Service explainers

Short videos that tell residents what a service is, who it’s for and how to use it.

Sensitive subjects

Animation lets you tell real stories without putting anyone on camera. We can mix it with filming where that helps.

Versions for every channel

Cut-downs for social media, versions for waiting-room screens and full-length films for your website.

Handling sensitive subjects

Some services are hard to talk about on camera. For Elements Support, we combined filmed footage of real spaces with simple 2D animated characters to explain their service while respecting the people who use it.

We can take the same approach for safeguarding, social care, mental health signposting and other subjects where privacy matters.
