This video highlights Derian House’s key findings from a research project focused on meeting the needs of children with life-limiting conditions across the North West of England. The study involved in-depth conversations with families, desk research, Freedom of Information requests, and stakeholder interviews.

Our goal was to present these important insights in a concise and engaging format. Collaborating closely with the client, we developed the script and storyboard before moving into production.

The video reflects the client’s vibrant brand identity, featuring colourful illustrated characters that help bring the story to life. By combining character animation, motion graphics, and carefully selected photos and stock footage, we were able to create a sensitive yet engaging visual narrative around this important and delicate topic. We also used our in-house voice-over artist to bring a personal, professional touch to the narration.
