Fusion Animation was founded in 2010. Since then, the Fusion team have established a world-leading, high end animation studio that works with some of the biggest and most innovative names in the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
We've brought together brilliant film makers and technicians with huge experience in both communications and science.
Of course, we're happy our work has been recognised with multiple awards, but what gives us most pleasure is delivering stunning, effective films for our clients.
Director
Fiona has worked in the communication industry for over 15 years and in healthcare for over 10. With an Honours degree in Neuroendocrinology, she ensures each and every project is completed on time and on budget.
Physiology | BSc (Hons) | University of Edinburgh | Honours in Neuroendocrinology. Particularly enjoyed modules studying parasitology (and developed a fascination with nematode worms). Dissertation in Sport and Exercise Physiology looking the link between exercise interventions and diet.
Scientific Art Director
As a qualified biomedical scientist and an experienced CG artist, Niall is in the unique position to fuse cutting edge scientific research with beautiful CG imagery. Niall's work to engage the public with scientific research has been recognised worldwide and he ensures the Fusion team creates stunning yet accurate animations.
Biomedical Science | BSc | Oxford Brookes Especially enjoyed molecular biology and cellular pathology. Specialised in the function of extra cellular vesicles and their function as carriers for biomarkers in cancer during final year. Dissertation focusing on effective public communication of the research surrounding this.
Medical Director
Vanessa has been working in senior roles within the medical communications world for over 20 years. Having worked both in the US and UK, she also brings international experience to the team.
She has a BSc (Hons) in Human Physiology and an MPhil/ PhD in Pathology from Cambridge University. She has produced a wide range of global and regional medical education materials, including a range of scripts and storyboards for mechanism of disease and mechanism of action videos.
Animation Director
Pauls is one of the industry’s leading creatives. He is renowned for stunning visuals and intricately crafted animation. He has vast experience of scientific visualisation, having worked at National Space Centre creating immersive cgi experiences for VR and planetariums.
Computer Animation & Visual Effects | BSc | University of Bradford Main focus was on character and technical animation, but I really enjoyed learning 3D modelling and lighting / rendering / compositing. I was working to become a well-rounded generalist.
Scientific 3D Animator
Sara is a highly qualified 3D artist and animator, who has been creating cutting edge CGI visualisations and simulations in the medical animation field since 2019. As a neuroscience major, with a masters in Medical Visualisation, Sara is highly knowledgeable in both the scientific and artistic aspects of medical animation. She utilises these skills to create both visually compelling, and scientifically accurate animations.
Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy | Msc | University of Glasgow MSc in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy with distinction from University of Glasgow/Glasgow School of art. This program combined practical anatomy teaching and cadaveric dissection, with 3D digital reconstruction, interaction and visualisation. This course also incorporated training with multiple digital interaction technologies including virtual and augmented reality, stereographic 3D and haptic devices. Neuroscience | BSc | Wesleyan University Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience at Wesleyan University. This course covered a wide breadth of topics, spanning the biology, physiology and chemistry departments. I also did practical laboratory research focused on brain imaging and anatomy.
Junior Animator
An experienced digital creative with over 10 years working in dynamic and collaborative environments, delivering hundreds of diverse and quality projects to many high-profile clients.
Multimedia | BSc (Hons) | University of Gloucestershire Fin's Bachelor of Science in Multimedia equipped him with a bedrock of design and development skills to bring digital experiences to life, encompassing the study of digital arts, technology, science, and the intersections between them.
2D Designer
Ben uses his Graphic Communication and Illustration degree to add hard-working design principles to complement the scientific scripts for our 2D animations. He’s a champion of the belief that good design is versatile; it can exist anywhere. If left to his own devices, Ben would like to turn title sequences into an artform.
