The Story of How Ghost Productions Became Ghost Medical
Why We Work Exclusively in Medicine
“We are committed to explaining medicine and its benefit to humanity by improving healthcare outcomes with simulation based training and medical visualization.”
Starting with a strong background in medical graphics and illustration, the first animation Ghost produced was a spinal implantation surgery that premiered at the North American Spine Society in 1994. As the need for special effects and animated content grew, the client base expanded to include television networks and advertising agencies with a wide range of content requirements.
Ghost Productions Shifts to Animated TV Shows and High-Budget Special Effects Commercials
We spent a few years producing award-winning special effects laden commercials for everything from name-brand beverages to high-end sports gear and even produced a few animated television shows and direct to video animated movies. Officer Jim and Buster, Woodfin, and Frivolous FairyTales.
Ghost Productions Returns to Exclusively Working in the Medical Industry
Ghost Productions’ founders decided to return to medicine because they valued the client relationships they had in the medical industry much more than they had with television networks and ad agencies. With Ghost Productions focused exclusively in medicine, the studio expanded into every medical specialty. Ghost’s medical animations efforts resulted in incredible success for Ghost and our clients, and paved the way for developing advanced technology like artificially intelligent medical illustration and VR surgery. Want to know more about the advancements we’ve made to medical marketing, surgical training, patient education, MOA (mechanism of action) pharmacology animations, VR surgery, and medical illustrations.
“Medicine is an invention created to reduce human suffering while improving the lives of the patients it treats. It is an honorable profession that we passionately serve.”
