Following research conducted for Healthwatch England into mental health provision for young people, we produced a video exploring the question, “What kind of mental health support do young people want?” Working closely with the client, we developed a script based on the key findings of the research, ensuring the content accurately reflected the experiences and priorities shared by young people.

A detailed storyboard was created to translate the findings into a clear visual narrative. Using the client’s brand colours and established style, we designed and animated the video with a simple and approachable visual language. Character animation was used carefully to communicate the sensitive subject matter in a respectful and accessible way, helping to make the content engaging without being overwhelming.

The video combines visuals with a voice-over that guides the viewer through the narrative, while the on-screen animation illustrates the story in a clear and supportive way. Quotes taken directly from the research are included throughout the video to reinforce key messages and maintain a strong link to the original findings. The final video provides a clear and effective way to communicate research insights around young people’s mental health support needs.
