Health animation from Nuuk, Greenland
The moment it clicks
Sammivik is a health animation studio in Nuuk, Greenland. We make 2D and whiteboard animations that help patients, families and citizens understand complex health and societal topics – written and voiced natively in Greenlandic, Danish or English.
That moment when someone finally understands—really understands—can change everything. In public health and education, it can save lives. No big words. No overwhelm. Just clear, accessible messages that stick. Because understanding should never be a privilege.

How we make it
From the first meeting to a film people understand
The same six steps for every film. Scroll to watch one take shape – using lines from our real script for Ear Infections: Helping Your Child.
01 · Client meeting
We listen first
Every film starts with a conversation: your goals, your audience and the one message that has to land. We research the health topic with you and agree the focus.
02 · Written story
The story, in plain words
We write a script that is easy to understand, puts people first and is culturally grounded – before anything is drawn.
From the real script (translated)
03 · Storyboard with your feedback
Sketch first. Comment anywhere.
Every scene is drawn as a clear sketch, so we can plan the emotional journey and you can give feedback before animation starts.

Scene 2 · Inside the ear
2“Make the ear bigger?”
Scene 3 · Fever & ear ache
Scene 4 · Health centre

What our clients say
You were really quick to respond to enquiries and quick to come up with suggestions and solutions. You were really good at listening to what we wanted, and once you knew, you did your best to meet our wishes.
“It has been a pleasure working with Sammivik. They made the whole process easy to follow and adjust along the way online, and our deliberate focus on the Inuit/Indigenous theme was really well received – especially when we presented the videos at a health conference in Canada. Sammivik understands the importance of cultural insight and manages to create materials that really make a difference. I can recommend them as a partner.”
“It was an honor working with you. Thank you for your commitment, patience and professionalism throughout the whole process 🙏 I hope our paths cross again some day 😊”
