Fields Education & research
Education and research video. Hard ideas, made simple.
We explain science, research and learning on camera, from the lab to the classroom, in plain words.
How we think about it
Check the facts, then tell the story.
Good research and good teaching both deserve a good explanation. We've told a patient's story for Nektar's cancer research, helped the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona's Tribal Epidemiology Center explain vaccines to its own communities and filmed mentoring with New Pathways For Youth.
Clients include Nektar · Thermo Fisher · ITCA Tribal Epidemiology Center · New Pathways For Youth
Here's the short version:
- 01
Who we work with
We work with universities, schools, labs, research teams, health educators and youth programs.
- 02
How we help
We read up on the subject, check every fact and let the experts explain it in their own words.
- 03
What we make
We make explainers, video essays, research stories, training films and recruiting films.
- 04
Where it plays
The films play in classrooms and trainings, at conferences, in grant reports and online.
We read before we film, so we can ask the questions a curious viewer would. We check every fact with the people on the record, and we let researchers, teachers and students explain things in their own words. Then we keep only what helps someone understand. Here are a few of the films we've made to teach:

Questions
What people usually ask us.
Here are the two questions we hear most often, with our answers:
Can you make a video essay or explainer about our research?
Yes. We read the papers, talk to the people who did the work and build the story around one clear idea, with graphics where they help.
Do you work with schools and universities?
Yes. We make recruiting films, program films and explainers, and we plan around class schedules and campus rules.
