Handcrafted 2D Animation for Science, Healthcare & Complex Ideas
Director-led explainer videos and animated films created from concept, illustration, and animation through to final delivery
Sundstedt Animation helps organisations communicate scientific research, healthcare information, technical concepts, environmental initiatives, and important ideas through original 2D animation. Founded by Anders Sundstedt, an award-winning 2D Animation Director, the studio combines creative direction, illustration, animation, and subject understanding to transform specialist subjects into clear, engaging animated films. Every project is created directly by Anders, from the first visual concept through art direction, artwork, animation, compositing, and final delivery.

CREATIVE &
TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Combining over two decades of animation experience with a background in Media Technology, I bring creative direction and subject understanding to science, healthcare, education, and technical projects.
CUSTOM-BUILT
FROM IDEA
TO FINAL FILM
Every animation is developed specifically around your subject, audience, and communication goal. Original artwork and animation replace generic templates or automated production.
CREATIVE
DIRECTION
You work directly with the person creating the animation. I develop the visual approach, direct production, and maintain consistency from first concept through final delivery.
Simple Production Process
A short overview of how projects move from initial idea to finished animation. For a detailed breakdown of each production stage, visit the dedicated process page.
1. Share Your Idea
Send a brief, script, or rough concept. I help develop the visual direction and approach needed for the final animation.
2. Develop & Produce
The project moves through visual development, illustration, animation, and production with clear communication throughout.
3. Deliver Final Film
Receive a finished original animation ready for your audience, platform, campaign, or communication goal.
Who the Studio Helps
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Sundstedt Animation is an independent 2D animation studio creating handcrafted animated films and explainer videos for organisations worldwide. The studio works with healthcare companies, biotechnology organisations, universities, research institutes, technology companies, environmental organisations, conservation groups, public sector bodies, and creative partners. Projects range from scientific communication and healthcare education to environmental initiatives, public engagement, and original creative animation. View the environmental policy.
The Challenge Solved
Specialised information is often difficult to communicate when subject experts understand the detail but audiences need a clearer path into the core idea. The goal is not to remove important information or oversimplify the subject. Instead, animation is used to create a clear visual structure, preserve accuracy, and help audiences understand ideas that are otherwise difficult to explain.
The Sundstedt Difference
Every animation begins with the subject, audience, and communication goal. The visual style, characters, illustrations, pacing, and animation are developed specifically for each project rather than selected from a pre-existing template system. From the first concept through final delivery, the same person understands the idea, develops the visual language, creates the artwork, directs the animation, and delivers the finished film.
All projects are created through a handcrafted process combining illustration, character design, visual development, animation direction, compositing, editing, sound finishing, and technical production. The result is original 2D animation created specifically for your audience and message.

“I recently worked with Anders on a 2D animation for our organisation to explain the importance of Quality. We are SO pleased with the result. Anders is meticulous, professional, and has an amazing eye for detail. He beat all our timelines, despite our own delays, and the quality speaks for itself. MANY thanks.”
