Building Online Training that Works
How we helped an award-winning production company create an effective training module for caregivers and medical professionals about deprescribing medication.
Fire Films is an award-winning production company that specialises in creating science and health documentaries.
The Fire Films crew needed a smart and simple way to explain the acronym “CEASE” to participants so they better understood the process for the deprescribing of medication. Mnemonics like CEASE are helpful for caregivers and patients alike, so ensuring that CEASE was well-known and understood would make it more likely that it would be applied.

Our Approach
We’d worked with Fire Films before, having created two videos for their dementia awareness training modules, so we had a good rapport right from kick-off.
While Fire Films use live footage and interviews for the bulk of the training modules, when it came to describing the acronym CEASE, they came to us and knew that a sketch video would be perfect in simplifying the complex message. The sketch aesthetic was deemed to be a perfect for explaining material to a wide audience, when clarity and ease of understanding is paramount.
Our process is quite collaborative, so the client felt very involved in shaping the imagery and visual storytelling components, while still being happy to defer to our expertise when needed.
Our Solution
The final product is a resource that both educates and informs. It traverses the nuances of a topic that can be emotive or challenging for those in the midst of being unwell, and spells out the important steps in a clear, memorable fashion.
Client Feedback
It was refreshing to work with such a responsive and professional team. We loved the process and outcome of our whiteboard animations so much we’ve already started project number two, and we look forward to many more collaboration in the future. Thanks Sketch Group!
