The VR experience immerses viewers in the vast landscapes of South Australia’s mid-north region where the famous Tesla SA big battery is located and gives the unique opportunity to see the battery from within the compound fence.

We captured 360 footage on-location, including a breathtaking 360 drone flyover to introduce the entire experience, and introduced interactive elements to allow users to manually select an area to visit or opt for an immersive guided tour throughout four different areas. Information on each area is delivered through scripted voiceover and on-screen graphics highlighting key points suited for an audience ranging from technical engineers to school students.

The learning platform has bold animations and interactive quizzes, accompanied by ‘Canny’ the inquisitive can character, delivering information on the importance of recycling and the correct processes to take in a fun and engaging style.

The overarching creative compliments the ‘pop-up book’ set designs and the Victoria era visual language from classic G&S theatre posters, highlighting the productions, events and venues included in the festival program as well as icons within the City of Adelaide, set to the instantly recognisable music from two of the leading G&S productions, Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore. We wanted the audience to see Adelaide through the eyes of Gilbert and Sullivan!

The TVC went live across VOD platforms, social media channels and on the digital screens in front of Her Majesty’s Theatre. The State Opera South Australia loved the commercials artwork so much that they requested a flat artwork version for printed 70cm x 20cm posters and stubby holders to be available to purchase as official merchandise.

Our 2D animations joined the documentary’s energetic mixture of live action, interviews and music, covering topics including social media, photoshopping, ‘fitspiration’, the influence of media and advertising on body image and role models. The animations illustrate and support the key message of the documentary in a light-hearted yet impactful style, designed for younger and older audiences to understand in a meaningful way – acknowledging shared experience or empathising a scenario whether directly or subconsciously.

‘Chico the Family Dog’, who is introduced and seen in live action scenes throughout the documentary, appears in animated form, experiencing extremely relatable emotions in a heartstring-tugging scenario that kids, teenagers, young adults and adults alike can all empathise with, and quite possibly relate to, encouraging open conversation and support through positivity. Embrace Kids celebrated its World Premiere at the 2022 Melbourne International Film Festival before being released in cinemas across Australia and New Zealand.

NUN HIT WONDER’s story was written by Peter Monaghan, and adapted for screen and directed by Jasper St Aubyn West and Anthony Frith. The narrated animation, formatted as a large-scale projection piece, ran at approximately 5 minutes with supporter logos and was accompanied by a psychedelic animated countdown screen. The entire project was developed and approved in consultation with those who held the rights to the Mead Estate.

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.
