Testimonials

“An animation company needs to be able to listen, needs to have proper knowledge, needs to be creative and needs to be able to handle deadlines accurately. We need this in order to be able to transfer abstraction into concrete images.

Cortical Studios is that great partner for us. Cortical Studios knows how to bring the invisible to life, in an impressive manner.”

Werner Degger - Producer
AVC University of Amsterdam

“I wanted to take the time to thank you and your team very much, for the achievements in the 3D work of our films. It is really impressive and it provides a serious added value to our film. The responses, so far, have been very positive and they are especially due to the animations and their background meaning and the various layers in the film.”

Nicole Verbeeck - Sr. Communications Specialist, Global R&D Communications
Johnson & Johnson

“Thanks for the animation work. We have received a lot of positive feedback of both patients and colleagues. Many compliments, also on behalf of the cardiac team!”

Joris van Eijck - Business manager Cardiac Center
Academic Medical Center Amsterdam

“We are very pleased with the visualisation of our CLIPS™ technology. Instead of showing many slides, we are now able to show what our technology can mean to our customers in one minute. In particular because of the scientific background of Cortical Studios, the production process of the 3D animation was very successful.”
