Why the personal touch counts...

Working in the world of digital media, much of what we do is online, so when the opportunity arises, we love going out to hand-deliver work to our clients.

It’s just one of the ways we stay connected to the people we work with.

Great communication isn’t just about sharing information; it’s about creating understanding.

Inductions are often a person’s very first interaction with an organisation, and first impressions count. They set expectations, communicate vital information, and help people feel informed, confident, and welcome from day one.

When done well, induction videos take complex or critical messages and present them in a way that’s engaging, consistent and easy to absorb.

At Colonel Duck, we specialise in creating induction videos using 2D animation, 3D animation and filmed video. We choose each format for a reason, not just because it looks good, but because it works. There is no off-the-shelf solution, so we take the time to listen, understand and challenge where needed.

We work closely with our clients to understand their message, their audience and the real-world context in which the content will be viewed, then craft videos that communicate clearly and connect on a human level.

The showreel below brings together a selection of our induction video work for the hashtag , demonstrating how different formats can deliver consistency, clarity and impact.

If you’re considering animation or video for your induction content and want a clearer sense of where to start, we’d love to talk, so please get in touch.

Successful projects tend to share one thing in common - clarity.

Clear goals.
Clear communication.
Clear understanding of the user/audience.

It’s often the difference between projects that deliver real value and those that don’t.

Clarity is at the heart of every project we do at Colonel Duck. If you're looking to produce value-driven content that delivers impact, get in touch!

First week back - complete ✅

The CD team has been busy this week, kicking off 2026 with work on some exciting projects. This includes a new video and website for two charity clients and the development of new features and functionality for our Pre Enrolment clients.

We even found some time to make the most of the snow! Below is our best attempt at creating the Colonel Duck logo.

How was your first week back?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Colonel Duck studio!

Today we marked the season with our annual Christmas social, which featured a trip to the F1 Arcade, followed by a delicious meal at Dishoom!

Our latest project with The Fifth Trust brought together two large websites - one for their charity services and one for their social enterprises - into a single, unified experience that’s simple to use and fully accessible to everyone.

Every stage of the project, from planning and design to development, was focused on creating a site that’s both visually striking and genuinely inclusive.

The result is a digital home that celebrates The Fifth Trust’s work, supports their community, and makes it easier for people to learn, shop and get involved.

We recently worked with Glaucoma UK on two projects to raise awareness of and highlight the impact that it has on people.

We are delighted to have received such positive feedback from our client:

“Colonel Duck were extremely responsive and helpful from start to finish, taking the time to listen to our brief, understand our brand and highlight our key messages. They kept us informed about how the production process was going and gave us the chance to feedback to them at various stages. We were so impressed, we commissioned them for another campaign before the first project had even finished. Although the second project had a much shorter lead time, they immediately laid out a project timeline outlining exactly when each stage of the production would be completed, and hit every deadline along the way. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of their work and will certainly approach them again for future campaigns.” - Tom Storer, Digital Communications Officer

Last week Hope and Nathan visited British Offsite Limited to check out their new factory, Horizon.

British Offsite is revolutionising offsite manufacturing. It was fantastic to see the investment and work that has gone into Horizon - plus who doesn’t love robots?!

We have been working with British Offsite to create a series of 3D animations and stills that explain the intricacies of their UNIsystem panels, in an easy-to-understand way. It was brilliant to see how these animations are being used and see the panels come to life!

Last week, Hope and Nathan visited our charity client, The Fifth Trust, down at their day centre in Kent!

We work with The Fifth Trust to develop and manage their virtual learning platform, FT Connect. FT Connect has been specially developed for people with learning disabilities and offers a unique, accessible learning environment. This platform is available locally to all of their students and nationally to anyone who would benefit from The Fifth Trust’s online learning.

It was fantastic to see their wide range of facilities in person and meet the students and instructors. It’s clear to see the passion and dedication of everyone involved in The Fifth Trust, which shows in the inspirational support that they provide adults with learning disabilities.

Whilst we were there, we captured some of The Fifth Trust’s incredible social enterprises, which include a garden centre, café and even a vineyard!
