A New Dimension to Our Scientific Storytelling: Introducing Our 2D Animation Showreel
Random42 is the global leader in delivering stunning, high-end scientific storytelling services. Our expertise in creating breathtaking visual experiences for our client base of pharma and biotech, through to cinematic documentary films, is unmatched.
3D animation provides a portal into hidden worlds, revealing processes that operate within us. However, we understand that certain types of scientific data and information cannot always be well translated into 3D. That’s why we are excited to announce the launch of our new 2D animation showreel!

Whilst 2D animation is not a new offering for Random42, the release of this showreel demonstrates years of dedication, expertise and significant growth, led by our exceptional motion graphics team. This additional offering broadens our capabilities and reflects our ongoing investment in expanding our creative horizons to deliver comprehensive scientific storytelling for our clients.
We bring the same unparalleled scientific expertise, meticulous attention to detail, artistic vision, and collaborative approach to our 2D projects as we do to our renowned 3D work. This means you get the same high-quality, innovative storytelling and exceptional client service you’ve come to expect from Random42.
The 2D showcase highlights our versatility and commitment to providing the perfect visual solution for every project. While our 3D prowess remains our core offering, 2D animation offers an alternative approach best suited to specific scenarios.
Over numerous years, our creative team has been quietly building our capabilities in 2D animation as an alternative to 3D. This means that we can now take on projects that just wouldn’t work in 3D without losing the visual and scientific impact. This release is less about a new capability but more a celebration of our incredible and growing 2D team – allowing us to serve the greater needs of our clients.
This 2D showreel launch is a huge milestone for Random42! It's an amazing feeling to be a part of a growing talented team of designers who are passionate about storytelling and creating fresh exciting visuals that breathe life into projects and engage people on a different level.
Why 2D? Unlocking New Creative Possibilities
The clean lines and expressive style of 2D animation is incredibly powerful, ensuring message retention and creating memorable experiences. For projects where a more direct message is key, such as explainer videos, infographics style, data visualizations, or even character-driven storytelling, 2D can often be more impactful than its 3D counterpart.
- Diverse Artistic Styles, Tailored for Impact: 2D animation offers a vibrant palette of artistic styles, ensuring a perfect fit for every project and message. From sleek, stylized explainer videos that distill complex information into easily digestible bites to dynamic whiteboard animations that visually unfold narratives, 2D animation allows for the creation of bespoke visuals that resonate with specific audiences.
- Bridging the gap in complex data visualization: Transforming complex scientific data or information into easily digestible visuals is a specialty of 2D animation. Whether the goal is to simplify extensive data reports, discuss new scientific training initiatives, or explore clinical trial specifics, 2D animation can translate information into compelling, engaging narratives.
- Perfecting the art of character design: 2D animation allows for a unique level of artistic expression in character design. With stylized characters bursting with personality, 2D allows us to create visuals tailored perfectly to your branding and storytelling needs.
- Captivating Short-Form Content for Social Media: In today’s fast-paced social media landscape, grabbing attention instantly is paramount. 2D animation provides an ideal solution: visually striking, short-form videos designed for maximum impact. Combined with the strategic integration of onscreen text allows for the seamless fusion of captivating visuals with impactful messaging, ensuring key points are not only seen but remembered by viewers.
- Boosting Brand Recognition Across Channels: Beyond creating compelling individual videos, 2D animation offers a robust tool for strengthening your overall brand identity. By seamlessly integrating with existing corporate branding, 2D animation allows for the consistent utilization of iconography, characters, fonts, and visual elements across all content and channels. This cohesive approach ensures a unified brand experience, reinforcing recognition and building lasting connections with your audience, regardless of the platform.
