Medical & Scientific Animation
Medical and scientific animation brings illustrations to life. By adding movement, complex concepts such as anatomy, procedures, and biological processes become easier to understand. These clear, engaging animations are ideal for education, presentations, and patient communication. Each project combines accuracy with visual appeal, ensuring reliable and effective storytelling.
Animation adds a new dimension to medical illustration by showing not only what something looks like, but also how it works. With medical animation and scientific animation, complex topics become easier to understand, whether for professionals, students, or patients.
I create concise and accurate anatomy animations that highlight essential structures and processes. These animations are particularly effective for medical education, research communication, and patient information materials. A clear animation can illustrate dynamic concepts—such as surgical procedures, disease mechanisms, or physiological functions—in a way that static images cannot.
Each project begins with a clear storyboard and style concept. From there, I combine the precision of medical illustration animation with engaging motion design to ensure both accuracy and visual appeal. The goal is always the same: clarity, reliability, and effective communication.
How to plan a story
What is a storyboard?
A storyboard may help you see your project’s appearance before it starts. Artists draw out the steps of an undertaking – from start to finish – onto paper, which later becomes invaluable during production.
Whether you need an animated medical illustration for a presentation, an e-learning module, or patient education, I tailor the visuals to your audience and objectives.

Visualize, realize, inspire!
Karin Spijker has performed assignments for me several times to my complete satisfaction, including logos and two 3D animations. Karin can translate the information from a briefing into the desired end product and work with you to think through the details pleasantly. In doing so, she works accurately, follows the set timetable, and honors her appointments. Karin is also a charming person to work with.
