The Art Department was formed in 1989 to provide production design for film, TV and theatrical productions.

Beside many 'special event' television productions, The Art Department has designed, manufactured and installed environments for Ten News, Nine's Logie Awards, the Aria Awards and, recently, the redesign and installation of a new studio for TCN channel 9.

3ds StudioMax was used to create realistic and stylized environments and photo-realistic animated 'Cast'. Visual effects were added using Adobe Premiere and After Effects.

Our aim is to have the audience accept the projected images as an extension of the venue, and invisibly combine projected 'cast' with live actors.

The images shown here form a pre-production sketchbook (storyboard) to enable producers to establish timing of live action.
