In this webinar, Orinoco’s director, Peter Barker, explains how you can use animated video to engage any audience with your research.

Creating an animated video is one of the most powerful ways to communicate your research and share it with the world.

  • The ways that animation can be used to engage a range of audiences with research
  • The production process: what to expect
  • How long does it take?
  • How much does it cost?
  • Tips on funding
  • 5 Golden Rules for writing a creative brief
