Building Trust
The Brief
Self-driving vehicles are already on the road, but convincing the public of that is a different challenge entirely.
PAVE UK, part of the University of Warwick, approached Aoife with a clear mission: to cut through the noise and educate audiences on the realities of automated transport. Ahead of a national survey, they needed a motion graphic video that could inform respondents before they answered, tackling misconceptions head-on. The brief called for something that could explain the safety measures, regulatory processes, and development requirements behind these vehicles in a way that actually landed with people. Assets that would build a credible knowledge base to sit alongside their website.

APPROACH
Aoife structured the project around clarity and momentum, breaking the video into defined sections, each one built to dismantle a specific misconception and keep viewers curious for what came next.
The decision to ground the animation in the present was strategic. Rather than leaning entirely on illustration, Aoife wove in real footage of self-driving vehicles already operating on public roads, making it impossible to dismiss this as future thinking. Paired with a clean SaaS-style motion graphic aesthetic, the result was something that felt both technically credible and genuinely watchable.
Results
The project delivered a full suite of videos for the PAVE UK website and social channels, built to shift perception, spark curiosity, and make automated vehicles feel like the present, not something in the distant future.
The hero video broke down dense technical concepts without losing the audience, clear, engaging, and impossible to scroll past. PAVE UK walked away with content that didn't just inform, it built confidence. The client made a point of highlighting Aoife's communication and proactiveness as a standout part of the experience.
