We designed animated graphic elements as a stylish, on-brand solution to connect various product footage together for a full takeover across multiple large screens.

The digital trade show display content brought the stand’s physical displays and other digital project content together, attracting and inviting the expo’s audience of Australian and international defence companies, industry, government, and leaders in academia and technology to learn more.

We produced the engaging E-Learning platform for web delivery, providing services including concept design and development, User Interface (UI), art and animation, and interactive presentation development to create multiple interactive presentations containing text, small ‘sprite’ animations, and interactive mechanisms such as quizzes, word match, worksheets, Q&As and embedded video. The content was suited for year 5/6 students and based on lesson plans and teacher resources, with the goal of increasing participant’s physical literacy skills and mental wellbeing while also creating lifelong physical activity and healthy habits.

Monkeystack provided 2D animation and motion graphics services to produce a narrative-driven animated corporate explainer video that re-established the brand, touching upon the company history, and focusing on the great, long serving people in the business. We created the animation for corporate presentations, as well as social media and web delivery.

Our TV advert animation production included concept design, animatic production, animation, editing, sound and SFX suited for broadcast to promote Crowies Paints products and an upcoming offer to a wide audience in Australia.

We brought the existing book cover art to life in a charming and captivating style with motion graphics and 2D animation in a stop-motion inspired style appropriate to the mood and genre of the story. The animation for social media and website caught the attention of theatre and literature fans alike, increasing awareness of the show and encouraging ticket sales.

Magic & Mayhem is an adventure quest game with a narrative focused on consent in relationships, demonstrated as the user chooses characters to take on their quest, with some displaying more enthusiastic responses than others, what outfit they should wear and to assign an item per character; from potions the character can use when needed to magical beans forced upon the character.

Players are faced with multiple choice options along their quest that define an end summary covering topics such as alcohol and drugs, enthusiastic consent and body language. The aim of Rize Above’s work is to assist young people to develop skills to have healthier more equal relationships, and to support caregivers and professionals to become allies with these goals.

You can play Magic & Mayhem in Rize Above’s Game Zone.

The exhibit at the entrance to MOD. is presented on the Street Gallery Touch Screens – a  video wall of ten 55” HD touchscreens mounted side-by-side in portrait orientation to provide a seamless 10800×1920 pixel Windows desktop. The screens offer 32 simultaneous points of touch across the entire surface so multiple people can play, discover and learn at the same time.

It’s a truly stunning canvas to tell a magnificent story of the seasons from the perspective of Indigenous Australians – our first scientists and astronomers.

Monkeystack put together a team of exceptional animators to work on the project over several months to bring to life Koala Man – whose world is just like Batman, but much less rich and not as cool. We were so very proud to see the Koala Man premiere in November 2018 on ABC COMEDY as part of the Fresh Blood series. In late 2019, Koala Man was shortlisted for an AACTA Award for Best Online Video or Series.

Koala Man was developed into a series starring the likes of Hugh Jackman and Sarah Snook, released in 2023 on HULU in the US and Disney+ in Australia. Monkeystack came back on board to produce 3D animation, with Justin Wight (Monkeystack Co-Founder and Director) as one of the Producers.

We produced a series of animations and a range of online content to be used as key resources within an educational program structured of eight weekly modules. Each module provides tools and resources to help with resilience, anti-bullying and opening up conversation on emotions, designed to be delivered by teachers or on a student self-help basis, highlighting the message “Mental illness affects everyone… including children”.

Our design and creation of the cute ‘Peeps and Feels’ represent every child viewer – not defined by gender, race, shape or features, but by emotional characteristics. This approach to character design makes for an inclusive experience, no matter what classroom viewers are in. Concepts, characters and storylines were thought out strategically as we created a colourful and engaging collection of animated visual resources, each covering a topic highlighted within modules for children to connect with and learn from.

 

Racking up over 8.5K views on George the Farmer’s YouTube channel in the first two weeks of being live, ‘The Farm Safety Song’ is a public service announcement formed of a catchy melody, engaging animated characters and a significant message of the “plenty of ways to stuff up on a farm”.

It wasn’t just the catchy tune that got stuck in our head, the alarming statistics from farm-related injuries are ones that cannot be ignored. The latest research released by AgHealth Australia indicated that over 2000 children were admitted to hospitals with farm-related injuries between 2010-2015, with one-third of those children being visitors to farms. That’s an average of eight children per week.
