The team followed the trail of breadcrumbs into the forest for State Opera South Australia's opening night of Hansel and Gretel.

It was an absolute treat to partner with the State Opera team to create an animated world for the production's trailer.🌲

How to capture the magical, mischievous and just-a-little-bit spooky world of State Opera South Australia's Hansel & Gretel and bring it to life in 30 seconds. 🌲🍭

Starting with Jonathon Oxlade's beautiful early designs and a brief filled with sugary treats and sinister secrets, we crafted an animated trailer inspired by texture, movement and puppetry.

Take a look behind the scenes and then experience the story for yourself.

Ever wondered what happens to your waste after bin day?

The Beyond the Bin interactive experience brings the journey of our green, red and yellow bin waste to life - because it doesn’t just disappear into landfill.

Developed with IWS (Integrated Waste Services) and NAWMA - Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority, we created an engaging gamified experience with multimedia and hands-on interaction to help visitors, student groups and team members gain a fresh perspective and understanding.

A special thank you to Jodie Kunze for transforming the experience graphics from digital concepts into a compelling physical installation.
