Synctum

We’re incredibly grateful to Amplify and Netflix for bringing us onto this project and trusting us with the final development of the Stranger Things season finale experience. Taking on our first fully immersive Hologauze VFX show in just six weeks from concept to delivery was no small feat — and it simply wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering talent, support, and collaboration of every team involved. A heartfelt thank-you to Bursty for beautifully capturing the video and photography necessary to share to audiences across the globe, and to Eat The Elephant for their exceptional integration of the show across screens, lighting, and pyrotechnics. Your work elevated every moment. We’re deeply proud of what we created together, a true team effort in every sense.

Petronas F1 – Delta To ‘Delta' means "to move in another direction". Envisioning this concept, we utilised sharp angular lines to aesthetically contribute as a component that leans into fast-paced bursts of energy, whilst employing aggressive motions of glitches and linework to showcase the relentless power the car has over its environment. We produced this spot for Petronas’ F1 team in UE and C4D, honing in on various different features and workflows. Utilising Niagara, we created real-time fluid simulations and of course used UE's amazing lighting and rendering technology. The motion design was produced in C4D and then the images were composited using a mixture of UE-to-Nuke and After Effects to create the final product.

In just under six weeks, we adapted the original show assets provided by Wētā for this activation. This was no ordinary undertaking for our talented team. Creating the Stranger Things finale experience was only half the story - the real magic happened behind the scenes, working alongside industry-leading professionals at Amplify, Netflix, Bursty, and Eat The Elephant. Here’s a look behind the curtain at how we brought this 3D projection to life.

Your friendly neighbourhood edit suite has arrived in the heart of Greenslopes. We built the Synctum edit suite to feel less like a facility and more like a place you actually want to spend a full day cutting in. The room can be fully blacked out for focused editing, colour decisions and finishing work, then opened up into a brighter, comfortable space for collaborative reviews and relaxed client sessions. Same room, two completely different working moods, designed to adapt to the people in it. We’re also running early bird special discounts for a limited time only. Link in bio to check out the facility or to book sessions.

What does it take to tell 10,000 years of human progress in 60 seconds? 👉 A caveman, a standing desk, and a team crazy enough to pull it off. Thank you @deskyau for being amazing to work with & backing our vision, and @synctum for the post-production firepower! Keep sharing ❤️

Behind every 60-second ad is a story. This one had: - 3 hours of caveman makeup - A dinosaur head in the foyer - A tiny crew making a huge idea real Proud of what we built with @deskyau . Grateful for the crew at @synctum and their post-production magic. And huge props to the team for producing a spot that makes us laugh every time!

Many years ago, we were two boys with a dream to work in the film industry, freshly enrolled in film school. Declan set his sights on becoming a pioneering visual effects artist and Jonny chased the title of big-shot film director... From the idea of producing virtual production commercials and music videos we found the industry's need for creative visual effects, premium 2D & 3D animation, and fluid motion design - we created Synctum. Fast forward only 2 years and we have created content with some of the biggest brands on the planet, working on over 10 Car Commercials in the last 1.5 years, 4 Movies, a TV Show and a Kids Webseries, as well as having worked with global brands in all areas of automotive, beauty, fashion, commercial, food, beverage and lifestyle to name a few. We like to think of Synctum as a "Design & Direction Company" - a creative studio that leads you in the right direction. We work on projects from start to finish, producing creative ideation for campaigns, managing projects and clients and handling workflows from pre-production to post-production. As of today, we're competing on briefs against companies that are decades old, proving that we can deliver the best on 2D & 3D Animation, VFX, Motion Design, Video and Creative Content.
