Clear, thoughtful animation for complex social and educational issues.
Oakbeam Pictures is an animation studio working with NGOs, public-interest organisations, and education partners to help people understand and engage with complex social and environmental challenges.
Much of the work we’re asked to support involves nuance, sensitivity, and real-world consequences. Whether it’s explaining policy, exploring social issues, supporting learning, or encouraging positive change, clarity and trust matter.
We create animated content that makes complex ideas easier to grasp without losing their meaning. Our process combines careful storytelling, close collaboration with subject-matter experts, and a strong focus on how messages are received by real audiences. The aim is not just to capture attention, but to support understanding, reflection, and engagement.
We work across education, public interest, and social impact, from learning resources and explainers to campaign and awareness films, partnering with organisations who care about accuracy, responsibility, and long-term impact as much as creativity.
Amazing clients have allowed us to produce work we are proud of.
