Mental Health Animation | Small Pharma

An impactful 2-minute animation on depression and anxiety produced for Small Pharma as part of the Mental Health Awareness Week 

Impactful animation about mental health

Chocolate Films was commissioned by Small Pharma to create an animation that explores the mental health struggles of depression and anxiety, illustrating the symptoms of these issues, the ways they can impact individuals day to day lives and feelings, and also providing useful tools and advice to help combat these issues.

The animation was delivered in just a week from commission, with a dynamic production process.  The client provided the voice over and script, our animator responded with a style guide and story board, and we worked closely with them over just a matter of days to ensure we exceeded their expectations and hit their deadline.   

Caring the weight of the world on your shoulders

The style was kept dynamic and minimalist using the client’s brand colours. Our animator animated all aspects of the artwork, creating smooth movements and expressions as well as fluid transitions between frames. 

With a more minimalist style and simplified facial features, the animation reaches out to a large audience regardless of age, gender, race, and sex. 

The illustrations supported the script and voiceover and helped emphasize the struggles of depression and anxiety.

Spread awareness using imaginative storytelling

Chocolate Films has many years of experience producing animations for a range of clients across different sectors, including the healthcare sector.

Motion graphics and animation are fantastic tools to help deliver your organisation’s message and spread awareness. They can help you simplify and clarify your story in a clear and creative way and impact your audience. 

We produced this colourful animation ‘Coping with hearing voices‘ for Durham University. The colours reflected the changes the characters go through. Adding colours can also make the animation stand out.

Chocolate Films did outstanding work on the Seido Karate London promo. They were able to capture the spirit of the Dojo with their visuals and presentation. The interviews were professional and conducted expertly. Overall outstanding work!

I work for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and we commissioned Chocolate films to make 3 films to support the training of mental health workers.The Chocolate films team have been highly professional, skilled and excellent to work alongside. Right from the beginning where we met to share our plans and discuss the potential project, the team have offered creative thinking, ideas and helped us to build a clear vision for the films. The script process felt easy and collaborative. The team have also provided a very clear structure and reliability around time scales.As the film making process began we worked closely around the development of scripts and casting of actors. Chocolate films have been very responsive and active in supporting us (at the Anna Freud centre) to work to the deadlines whilst showing a really high level of knowledge around the process and steps needed.The actual filming days were a pleasure to be involved with and the team has been very impressive to see in action, particularly in their ability to work together, to include me in their process whilst also attending very carefully to the details needed for the films to be high quality.I would highly recommend Chocolate films and would certainly commission them again

Rachel and Lucia worked with our vision and helped turn it into a reality, offering suggestions and expertise to help bring the story to life to a highly creative and timely manner.The video created a real buzz within the organisation and the feedback received has been fantastic. I would highly recommend Chocolate and look forward to working with them again in the future.

A very professional team with flexibility and great understanding of the craft. The pre-production was straight forward but the dedication from the team on the day to capture lots of high quality footage of the event was admirable.The final outcomes were well edited and the revisions process was painless and fast. I highly recommend Chocolate Films for event and interview videography.
