Explaining more about attention was at the heart of this collaboration with Richard. We loved using visual thinking and creativity to illustrate his points and surprise a few viewers along the way.

To understand how audiences reacted to whiteboard animation, we worked on a research project with Richard. Naturally, we animated the results.

In this video, Richard goes into more detail about his research for us and our founder Andrew Park talks about the RSA Animates.
