Research deserves an audience beyond the journal.

We turn published research into animated explainers, 3D visualisation and plain-English stories, so funders, policymakers and the public can finally understand what you found.

A paper can take years to write and minutes to be forgotten.

Most research is read by a small circle of specialists. The people who fund it, apply it and are affected by it rarely get past the abstract. We close that gap, turning your findings into films and stories they will actually finish, without losing the precision your peers expect.

What we make

Seven ways to take your research beyond the journal, from a single article to a complete presence for your lab.

The AbstractExplainer films, drawn by hand

A clear, carefully structured film of 30 seconds to 3 minutes that explains your research to people outside your field. Scripted with you, checked for accuracy and animated by hand.

Learn more
The Dimension3D visualisation for precise subjects

Detailed 3D animation for molecules, mechanisms, devices and anatomy: subjects where accuracy matters and a flat drawing is not enough.

Learn more
The FeatureCinematic films, openly AI-made

Big-screen atmosphere for the story behind your science, made with generative tools under full human direction. Never used where visuals must be scientifically exact.

Learn more
The ColumnYour paper in plain English

A 400 to 700 word article written from an interview with you, with a short edit for social media. Ideal for raising the profile of a new paper or programme.

Learn more
The Long Read & The VolumeWebsites for research that lasts

A single scrolling web page for one grant or paper, or a full multi-page website for a centre, consortium or programme, built for funders, collaborators and the public.

Learn more
The MonographA complete package for your lab

A designed lab website, an explainer film, two articles and a social edit, planned together so your lab is seen and understood as one clear story.

Why researchers work with us

We are built for research: its precision, its timelines and its budgets.

  • We read the paper first

    Every project starts with your research itself, so we understand the science before we try to simplify it.

  • Accuracy you can put your name to

    Scripts and visuals are reviewed with you, and with specialists where needed, before anything is final.

  • Priced for research budgets

    Published guide prices, a 10% academic and non-profit rate, and university purchase orders accepted.

  • Your science, your credit

    The research stays yours. We make it visible, and make sure the people behind it are credited.

Where our work makes a difference

The moments when being understood matters most.

  • Grant and funding bids
  • Conference talks
  • New papers and preprints
  • Public engagement
  • Impact case studies
  • Teaching and online courses

Science worth knowing.

The best research should reach far beyond the people who can read it in its original form.

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Read & listen

    We read your paper and meet you to understand the findings, the audience and where the work will be used. You receive a written proposal with a fixed quote.

  2. 02

    Script

    We write the story in plain English and check every claim with you. Nothing moves forward until you are happy that it is both clear and correct.

  3. 03

    Storyboard

    We sketch every scene so you can see the whole piece before production starts, and review the scientific detail frame by frame.

  4. 04

    Make

    Our illustrators, animators and writers bring it to life, sharing progress so there are no surprises at the end.

  5. 05

    Deliver & share

    You review, we refine within your agreed revision rounds, and we deliver every format you need for conferences, websites, social media and funders.

Your findings, seen by the people who need them.

What every project includes

  • Scientific review

    Scripts and visuals checked for accuracy with you, and with a specialist where the subject needs one.

  • Your sign-off at every stage

    Nothing moves on until you approve the script, the storyboard and the final piece.

  • One point of contact

    A single project lead who understands your research from first call to delivery.

  • Plain English, no dumbing down

    Clear for funders, policymakers and the public, without losing the precision your peers expect.

  • Clear, published prices

    Guide prices online and a fixed written quote before any work begins.

  • Ready for every channel

    Delivered in the formats you need for talks, websites, social media and reports.

Rigorous enough for your peers. Clear enough for everyone.

A different way to share research

The usual route

  • A press release a handful of people read
  • Slides nobody outside the field can follow
  • Generic stock animation
  • Agencies unfamiliar with research

Beyond the Journal

  • Films and stories made for your real audience
  • Clear for the public, accurate for your peers
  • Visuals designed for your specific science
  • A team that reads the paper first

Built around academic reality

  • 10% Off our prices for universities and non-profits
  • 4 days To turn your paper into a plain-English Column
  • 1 Point of contact for your whole project
