Science video production that gets it right.
Bohdee Media was incubated inside the Australian Academy of Science, spending our first two years working alongside some of the country's leading researchers. Science communication has been at the heart of what we do ever since.
Our producers came up through Australia's major newsrooms, and our Science Adviser is Professor Alan Duffy, one of Australia's best-known public scientists. We find the story in the research, check every claim, and make the people behind it come across as themselves.
We're proudly a member of Australian Science Communicators.
RECENT CLIENTS
Trusted by Australia’s science community.
WHAT WE MAKE
From the lab to the public.
Researcher profiles
Scientists on camera at their best: clear, human and accurate.
Science explainers
Interviews, animation and data visualisation that make complex ideas easy to follow, without overstating the evidence.
Awards and fellowships
Profiles of prize winners, fellows and award recipients, including the Australian Academy of Science’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scientist Award.
Science education
Professional learning, classroom resources and training modules. Our content for one national education program lifted educator engagement by 62% within two months.
Research impact stories
Films that show what a discovery means in the real world, for funders, government and the public.
Multilingual science
Mandarin and Cantonese science content, produced in-house by NAATI-qualified translators.
VIDEO EXAMPLES
Science, made human.
AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE
Marking 70 years of collaboration.
SYDNEY WATER
Communicating complex science to the public.
SBS INCLUSION
Video 1 of a workplace training series.
HONORIFIC SCIENCE AWARDS
Celebrating excellence across disciplines.
PLANTS FOR SPACE
Content for high school students.
COSMOS MAGAZINE
Scientist profiles.
We’ve also produced work for the National Youth Science Forum, the International Science Council and many other science institutions.
WHY BOHDEE
Accuracy is not optional.
Science literacy built in.
Our team understands how research works, including peer review, uncertainty and caveats, so the film says what the evidence supports and nothing more.
A scientist on the team.
Professor Alan Duffy, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Flagship Initiatives at Swinburne University of Technology and one of Australia’s most recognised public scientists, is our Science Adviser.
We make researchers look good.
Most researchers have never been interviewed professionally. Putting them at ease and drawing out a clear explanation is a skill we’ve spent careers building.
Animation that explains.
In-house animators turn molecules, models and datasets into motion graphics that make an idea click.
WHO WE ARE
Indigenous-owned and certified.
Bohdee Media is Indigenous owned, managed and controlled, certified by both Supply Nation and the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce. For institutions with Reconciliation Action Plan or Indigenous procurement commitments, working with us contributes directly to those commitments.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Who checks the science in your videos?
Every script is checked against the research and reviewed by the researchers involved. Our Science Adviser, Professor Alan Duffy, supports our science communication work.
Can you explain complex research visually?
Yes. Our in-house animators create motion graphics and data visualisation, combined with filmed interviews.
Do you make videos for science awards and fellowships?
Yes. We’ve produced profiles of award recipients and fellows, including the Australian Academy of Science’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scientist Award.
Can you make science content in other languages?
Yes. Our NAATI-qualified team produces Mandarin and Cantonese science content in-house.
