Bigman

Bigman is an independent boutique studio creating CGI illustration, animation and visual effects for commercial and educational communication. Founded in 2010 and also branded as Bigman CGI, it operates from Brighton and Edinburgh, serving clients across the UK and internationally. Its work spans still imagery, animated storytelling, product demonstrations and immersive digital experiences.

The studio adapts its visual approach to each brief rather than applying a fixed house style. Projects range from minimalist 2D motion graphics and character-led explainers to photorealistic product imagery and detailed biomedical simulations. This flexibility supports work for advertising agencies and businesses in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, financial services, consumer goods, technology, transport and public education.

Visual storytelling and production

Bigman's capabilities cover both the development of an idea and its finished visual execution. Scriptwriting, storyboarding and creative consultation sit alongside character design, concept animation, CGI illustration and motion graphics. The studio also produces interactive applications and content for virtual reality, augmented reality and 360-degree video.

Its commercial animation work includes customer-facing explanations, corporate communications and product training. These formats help present services, demonstrate technology and explain processes through imagery and movement. Character animation and stylized visuals provide another approach for briefs that call for accessible storytelling, while photorealistic rendering supports product visualization and illustration.

Medical and scientific communication

Healthcare is a particular area of focus. Bigman produces mechanism-of-action and mechanism-of-disease animation, translating physiological processes and scientific information into visual explanations for healthcare professionals and patient education. Its medical work also encompasses scientific simulations, medical device communication and software visualization.

Across these disciplines, the studio combines creative development with technical production to match the subject, audience and communication goal. Its portfolio brings together advertising, educational content and specialist visualization, reflecting a practice that works across both expressive animation and information-rich imagery.
