Animator Creates Video Remedy for Children’s Common Medical Fears

A University of Texas at Dallas assistant professor is using his skills as an animator to ease the fears of children who may be facing a “scary” medical procedure.

Working with a physician, Sean McComber MFA’14 is developing 10 videos in a series called “Monster Docs” that will provide medical information to children in an easy-to-understand way.

“I wanted to develop an animated video that would explain common pediatric medical procedures in terms that a child would understand,” he said. “The thought was that it would make it a less-threatening experience.”
