"So good to see behind the curtains" was something we heard more than once at our recent Open Studio event.

We love showing our finished commercials but this event was about celebrating the detailed, tactile, human process behind them.

Some things only click when you can touch them.

We're planning another Open Studio soon but if you can't wait til then and you'd like us to bring our show-and-tell to your creative team, get in touch.

It was a dark and stormy night, but a big thank you to everyone who braved the rain and made it to our Open Studio event!

It was an evening of great questions and passionate answers. It was lovely to see the magic happen for our guests as they clicked their first keyframes and made things move.

We're planning another Open Studio soon, hopefully without the rain. However if you can't wait til then and you'd like us to bring our show-and-tell to your creative team, get in touch.

It’s a great privilege to be photographing and archiving this rare and vintage collection of ye olde world medicinal bottles for the #nhaa Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia. @nhaa.est1920 #artdirection #stills #screencraft #stopmotion

Graded stills from the recent BMF Australia, helium.film and VANDAL, Peter Nizic directed this charming Back to School ad campaign for Tip Top Bakeries. Blending live-action and stop-motion animation, we created practical, in-camera visual effects and animated sequences to tell the whimsical story of Esme’s sensational sandwich creation. With a flick of the wrist, Mum solves each of Esme’s spontaneous whims with ease, kicking off the school day with joy and wonder.

Everything on screen, built by hand.

Every flame, every flood, every wisp of smoke in No Place Like Home was captured in-camera — inside a hand-built globe that became both a set and a metaphor.

This Behind the Scenes takes you from the first sketches to 3D printing and painting the models, through to the three shoot days at Dropbear Studios where we brought it all to life.

At the heart of it was craft: the patience of miniature building, the precision of practical effects, and the artistry of cinematographer @trickatech , who shaped every frame with light and movement.

We built these films with Greenpeace and Photoplay to humanise NASA’s climate “vital signs.” A reminder that the planet isn’t an abstract idea — it’s our home. And there’s no place like home.

When the house is on fire, we don’t sit back and say “everything is fine.”

This final film in my No Place Like Home series for Greenpeace is about global temperature rise. Probably my favourite of the three — because for this one, we literally set the model on fire.

Inspired by the infamous meme of the dog calmly sipping coffee in a burning kitchen, we built our own miniature room inside a globe and let the flames take over.

All shot in-camera, using hand-crafted sets and practical effects, created in collaboration with @photoplayfilms and Greenpeace.
