# Pix Videos > Scientific animation studio transforming complex research into compelling visual stories that captivate audiences and unlock funding. ## Company Overview Pix Videos is a specialized scientific animation studio that creates high-quality animated explainer videos for researchers, academic institutions, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical organizations. Founded by Pablo Hortal, the company helps scientists communicate their research through visually stunning animations that make complex concepts accessible to broader audiences. **Headquarters:** Spain (with satellite offices in the UK, the US, Canada, and Australia) **Founder & CEO:** Pablo Hortal **Specialization:** Molecular biology, medical research, environmental science, physics, engineering **Website:** https://pix-videos.com ## Services ### Scientific Animation Production Custom 2D and 3D animations across all scientific domains. Medical and life sciences (molecular mechanisms, drug delivery, cellular processes), environmental science (climate models, sustainability, renewable energy), physics and engineering (quantum systems, propulsion technologies, autonomous systems), and social sciences (educational research, economic models, policy visualization). Every frame is scientifically accurate and designed to communicate complex concepts clearly. ### Grant Application Videos Visual abstracts and explainer videos designed to strengthen research grant applications. Studies show video abstracts increase article views by 110% on average, and visual communication helps differentiate applications in competitive funding environments. ### Educational Content Science explainer videos for public engagement, university courses, and institutional outreach. We help researchers extend the impact of their work beyond academic journals. ### Corporate & Product Videos Biotech and pharma product animations, mechanism of action videos, and investor presentations that communicate complex science to non-specialist audiences. ## Pricing - **Academic Researchers:** 2,992 EUR/minute (all-inclusive) - **Enterprise Clients:** 9,980 EUR/minute (all-inclusive) All packages include unlimited revisions, professional scriptwriting assistance, and dedicated project management. ## Process 1. **Discovery Call:** 30-minute Zoom call to understand your research and goals 2. **Script Development:** We craft a compelling narrative with your input (~1 hour/week from you) 3. **Storyboarding:** Visual planning of every scene for your approval 4. **Animation Production:** Frame-by-frame creation with scientific accuracy oversight 5. **Revisions:** Unlimited feedback loops until you're 100% satisfied 6. **Delivery:** Final video in all formats you need ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Do we use AI to make our scientific animations?** A: We use AI strategically to enhance our workflow while maintaining rigorous scientific accuracy. AI enables our team to work more efficiently on tasks like initial concept exploration, baseline asset generation, and routine sequences. However, the scientific precision, narrative design, and final execution remain entirely under human control using traditional animation techniques. AI models are probabilistic rather than deterministic, and while AI video platforms like Sora, Veo, and Runway can generate impressive results for many applications, they can’t consistently achieve the frame-by-frame precision our work requires. That's why we've developed a hybrid approach: AI augments our animators' capabilities on appropriate tasks, while expert oversight ensures every frame meets rigorous scientific standards. The result: faster delivery, uncompromised accuracy. **Q: How many revisions can I have during the production of my video?** A: There’s no limit. We go through the necessary feedback loops until you are 100% satisfied. **Q: How much time do I have to spend on my end explaining my technology and giving feedback during production?** A: Very little, around 1 hour per week. **Q: Why are we so transparent with our pricing (no other scientific animation studio shows their pricing on their website)?** A: If we didn’t have the best quality/price ratio in the market, we wouldn’t show our pricing either. **Q: Why is our website the only one in our niche (or any niche for that matter) in which you can chat directly with our CEO with a click of a button?** A: If we weren’t the most client-centric animation studio, we wouldn’t be offering this option either. **Q: Why is the script of my scientific animation such a crucial factor?** A: The storytelling quality of your script is what’s going to determine whether the audience is engaged throughout the whole video or else get bored and click away. You’ll be able to count on our storytelling expertise so that your video has a killer script. **Q: Why is the visual quality of my scientific animation such a crucial factor?** A: Because just like a high quality video will attract your audience towards your research, a poor quality one will create a sense of rejection. **Q: How can a high-quality scientific animation boost my chances of securing more grant funding now and in the long run?** A: Research funding is fiercely competitive, with success rates often below 20%. What separates the funded from the unfunded? Read on. **Q: Can I include film footage (e.g. interviews) within my animated video?** A: Yes. You can provide us with your footage, or we can film it ourselves. ## Key Differentiators - **Direct CEO Access:** Chat directly with Pablo Hortal via the website—unique in our industry - **Transparent Pricing:** The only scientific animation studio showing prices publicly - **Unlimited Revisions:** No cap on feedback rounds - **Scientific Accuracy:** Human oversight on every frame, not fully AI-generated - **Global Service:** Serving researchers worldwide from Spain-based operations ## Contact - **Schedule a Call:** https://calendly.com/pablo-hortal/zoom-call-website - **Contact Page:** https://pix-videos.com/contact/ - **Youtube:** https://www.youtube.com/c/PixVideosProductionCompany - **Linkedin:** https://www.linkedin.com/in/pix-videos - **Twitter:** https://x.com/PixVideos ## Sitemap Full sitemap available at: https://pix-videos.com/sitemap-index.xml ## Pages - [Homepage](https://pix-videos.com/): Scientific animation studio homepage - [Testimonials](https://pix-videos.com/testimonials/): Client reviews and case studies - [Tips & Advice](https://pix-videos.com/tips-advice/): Expert advice on research communication - [About](https://pix-videos.com/about/): Company background and team - [Contact](https://pix-videos.com/contact/): Schedule a call with our CEO ## Featured Articles - [Best Scientific and Medical Animation Companies to Bring Your Research to Life
