For the animation Program immunology, we have reduced a fairly extensive substantive story to 2.5 minutes of animation. The film contains scenes that are difficult to explain easily. We translated these into a storyboard step by step and in consultation. This resulted in an animation with many moving illustrations, but also movements that tell the story correctly.

A second challenge was whether the animation could be made gender neutral. We have developed a unique style with a loose drawing style. The Collaborating Health Funds and the Top Sector Life Sciences & Health, supplemented with co-financing by the business community, made 17.5 million euros available for immunological research. Instead of looking at one specific disease, the projects looked for the underlying cause: the fault in the immune system. With this, the development of new treatments for many immune diseases can be accelerated and patients can be treated more individually.
