Our Clients
Luminations offer an innovative take on patient education videos
These are NOT your typical explainer videos!
Each short educational video leverages visual metaphors to introduce your audience to new scientific concepts using familiar references.
A translation-friendly narrative track facilitates world-language translations.
And our lighthearted approach makes it easier and less daunting for patients to learn about their disease and treatment options. After all, if something is making you smile, you don’t turn away!
We meet with you to discuss your project goals and vision and do our research. Since we’re often asked to explain the latest breakthroughs in science and medicine, we consult with SMEs as needed.
Research & Messaging
With the help of Crossroads4Hope, we pulled together a group of patients to get their reactions to several Luminations. THANK YOU to the organization as well as all those who participated.

Patients who understand their condition and its treatment are more likely to become engaged and compliant, use medications and products safely, and consider participation in clinical trials.
Patients and their loved ones need clear, accurate, non-threatening, and accessible information—in a format they can understand.
That’s where Luminations come in.
What patients are saying
Content Development
We draft a fully-annotated, translation-friendly voiceover narrative for review and sign off.
Visual Storytelling
Upon approval of the narrative track, we then create a detailed script that describes everything that will happen in the animation.
Pencil Test
We develop storyboards in the form of an animated pencil test against a temporary “scratch track.”
Casting
Choose your cast from our ever-growing library of diverse characters. If you don’t see a particular character type, we can add it. If you’re going for a particular stylistic “look,” we also provide custom designs and characters.
Animation & Sound Effects
Once the pencil test is approved, final animation begins. We also help bring the piece to life with sound effects.
Luminations are an initiative of digital agency, D2 Creative.

Luminations are the perfect solution to:
Content Management
Throughout every stage of the process, detailed internal reviews ensure the integrity of the science and intentions of the storytelling are maintained.
Voice Recording, Editing & Audio Mix
The final voiceover talent is recorded only after everything has been approved. Then we do the final audio mix.
Translations
Almost every Lumination we produce is translated into, at minimum, Spanish. Regardless of the language, the voiceover talent is directed to read at an educational pace. The animation is then re-timed for each language.
Patient education grounded in humanity
Hand-drawn animation makes our diverse cast of human characters more emotive and expressive—and thus more relatable—than the explainer videos or drag-and-drop, clip art animation typically found online. This allows us to convey a true sense of humanity in every type of scenario—whether heartwarming, dramatic, or more lighthearted
Our Process
You will have the opportunity to review our work at key milestones so that there are no surprises. For patient audiences, we also confer with a team of patient advocates to ensure the final Luminations will resonate.
