The Mental Elf

We can make videos to help promote your research

Event interviews

We attend conferences and meetings to record interviews with speakers and delegates using our nimble mobile production set up. We produce polished videos with branded intros, voiceovers and stock footage, to share across our social media channels.

Live event reporting

We film handheld clips throughout an event – interviews, reactions, conversations, poster trails – edit them fast, and publish a shareable highlights reel while it’s still happening.

Online interview series

We record structured interviews over Zoom and edit individual responses into tight, themed compilations – shaped around a clear narrative, not a raw recording.

Video lessons and explainers

Animated research summaries

We turn research findings into fully animated videos – original characters, storyboarding, scripting, voiceover, and sound – making complex evidence genuinely accessible, engaging, and shareable.

Walkthroughs

We produce screencast videos with an in-picture speaker – PowerPoint presentations, website demos, product tours – professionally edited and captioned for audiences well beyond the original room.

Narrated explainers

We pair a professional voiceover with curated stock footage and motion graphics. This is a very cost-effective way to summarise research or explain a concept with genuine polish.
