Animation 1: Good News About HIV
As an animation company with a focus on Health and Social Care, we are constantly inspired by the life-changing work our clients do. The Martin Fisher Foundation came to us with a fantastic message and asked if we could help them spread it.
Ending new HIV transmissions in the UK is within our grasp
Right now, an HIV-positive person who’s taking their medication can live their full lifespan, entirely without fear of ever developing AIDS, or passing HIV onto anyone else… no matter what they do together.
That’s right.
As long as they are taking their meds, it’s 100% impossible for them to pass it on.
In fact, the only people spreading HIV right now are people like you.
Yes, you.
People who’ve had sex but not had a test.
There are thousands of undiagnosed cases in the UK right now, but if we all got a test, we could end the spread of HIV in Britain this year!
The animation
As writers, artists and editors, this is the kind of project we live for. A chance to spread a message of hope, to chip away at misinformation and prejudice, and to support our clients in the incredible work they do to change lives for the better.
In this animation, we combined real-world props, original illustrations and digital animation ingenuity to take the viewer through the story of how medical advances have brought us such a long way since the 1980s.

Testimonial
“What an AMAZINGLY talented team. Creating our animation with CC Animation Studio was one of the best projects I have worked on… ever! Dann, Alex and Rosie went out of their way to understand the issues and communicate them beautifully through a perfect script and outstanding artwork and animation. I'm trying hard to think of another project so we can work together again in the future!”

Animation 2: 30 Seconds to Beat HIV
30 Seconds to Beat HIV is for all Primary and Secondary Care providers who routinely take bloods and want to be part of the impetus in getting to zero new infections.
For this digital animation, artist Rosie Hunter used the Martin Fisher Foundation brand colours for a cohesive feel. The ‘timeline’ style flow of the animation emphasises the ease and smoothness of the testing process.
Following on from the success of the Good News about HIV animation, CC Animation Studio were once again delighted to work with the Martin Fisher Foundation.
Whilst the first animation was aimed at encouraging the public to take an HIV test, for this explainer film we were asked to promote a quick and easy system of encouraging clinicians to offer routine HIV testing in settings where a patient is already having blood drawn.
The explainer animation
As specialists in Health and Social Care communication, we know that those working in healthcare are deeply committed to giving their patients the best care possible, but are also under immense pressure for both time and resources. Crucially, this opt-out testing is simple, cheap and quick to implement, and with just 30 seconds and one simple question, HIV transmission in the UK could be ended by 2030.
