Hyperbeam is a nimble animation studio led by director Kai Higham. Functioning fluidly between solo practice and full-scale production house, Hyperbeam adapts to the needs of each project — whether that means Kai handling everything from storyboard to final delivery, or assembling a bespoke team from a trusted network of top-tier designers and animators.
You’ll find Hyperbeam’s work lighting up Rod Laver Arena during the Australian Open, in George Watsky’s DOT XXX music video, and across campaigns for brands like Grill’d, Cotton On, University of Melbourne, and IAG — to name a few.
This series of images was my first foray into using CGI to create outdoor natural scenery. Exploring landscapes and material development for natural objects such as leaves, grass and flowers. I also wanted to explore the interplay and narrative suggestion between seemingly abandoned man made objects and the lonesome natural environments they were left in.
I was interested primarily in spaces that felt like they sat somewhere at the outskirts of suburbia. Unknown spaces containing just the remnants of human activity, occasionally nudging closer to surreal or fictional worlds.
