FEATURED PROJECTS

Covering everything from TikTok to traditional documentary, these projects demonstrate our broad production capabilities.

 

BROADCAST TVC

American Tourister – “It Can Take It”. This TVC was created entirely with in-camera FX, featuring a custom-built Exo-Skeleton rig designed to hold the Tourister luggage in place until the precise moment of impact. A cleverly engineered quick-release wire system allowed the suitcase to topple on cue, capturing the action in one real, satisfying shot. No CGI. No cheats. Just raw, physical filmmaking. Because keeping it real makes it memorable. And that matters — distinctive ads deliver up to 6X more market share growth per dollar than rational, forgettable ones. That’s why our latest work for The TRP Agency’s client, American Tourister, doesn’t blend in. It punches through the scroll, sticks in your head, and can’t be mistaken for anyone else. The spot features the band, Middle Kids, one of Australia’s most exciting indie acts — bringing the sound and spirit this category’s been missing. “It Can Take It” isn’t just a tagline — it’s a creative platform built to make this brand unmissable.

MUSIC VIDEOS

 

MADONNA

MADONNA – "Rebel Heart Tour". Creating content for one of the world’s biggest artists comes with a unique kind of pressure — but for Executive Producer and Director of Photography Stuart Gosling, it was familiar territory. With nearly 30 years of experience and hundreds of music videos and dozens of concert films under his belt — for global icons like Tom Jones, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Ronan Keating, and David Guetta, as well as Australian stars like Vanessa Amorosi and Jessica Mauboy — it was a natural choice to bring York Studios on board to capture Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour as it wrapped up in Australia. With a multi-million-dollar budget, the production spanned all major capital cities and required meticulous coordination and logistics to meet the high creative standards demanded by Madonna and her team. The result? A spectacular behind-the-scenes and on-stage production powered by over 24 cameras, multiple cranes, Spidercams, and York Studios’ full technical and creative capabilities. What happened behind the lens was every bit as impressive as the show itself.

 

BROADCAST TVC

JUMANJI – "Bring the Adventure Home" Another bold and imaginative TVC created for the iconic Jumanji board game, distributed by Spin Master Games. This cinematic spot captures the emotional pull and fantastical spirit of the original film — where reality and fantasy intertwine to spark the imagination. Just like the movie, the commercial blurs the line between the real world and the wild jungle adventure, rekindling memories of the blockbuster and showing how that same fun and excitement can be recreated at home with the board game and shared with family. York Studios brought its full suite of filmmaking expertise to elevate this campaign into a miniature cinematic experience, delivering a commercial that holds its own alongside the tone and scale of the feature film.

DOCUMENTARY

V/LINE – "Rising Stars". Blending BBC-style storytelling with AFL passion, Rising Stars is a powerful new documentary—taking viewers on a cinematic journey that explores the unique parallels and deep-rooted symbiosis between Victoria’s rail network and the rise of Australia’s national game: AFL. At its heart, this film is about connection—between people, places, and potential. It highlights how the V/Line Cup has not only served as a key pathway for young athletes but has also played a vital role in uniting rural Victoria through sport and transport. The documentary showcases how trains and teams alike have helped shape community identity, linking towns and nurturing talent across the state. Featuring exclusive interviews with AFL and AFLW stars Zane Duursma and Kodi Jaques—both alumni of the V/Line Cup—the film traces how this iconic competition has inspired generations of players. With archival footage, personal stories, and rich historical context, Rising Stars honours a legacy of movement, opportunity, and shared dreams. Whether you’re a footy fan, a rail enthusiast, or a proud Victorian, this is a story of how community and culture travel side by side—on tracks and turf.

REALITY TV

The King of Oz -- Reality TV meets streetball in Australia’s boldest new competition format The King of Oz is a hard-hitting, high-impact reality series that blends the raw athleticism of street basketball with the proven mechanics of global reality hits like Survivor and Big Brother. Set against the backdrop of Australia’s basketball boom, this format taps into a massive youth and sports-loving demographic — making it an unrivalled platform for sponsors, advertisers, and product partners. Over 12 episodes, 16 unknown players are thrown into a high-pressure, fully immersive environment: elite training, elimination challenges, and 24/7 surveillance in a luxury inner-city compound. The format is designed for maximum audience engagement — both on-screen and online — with authentic drama, emotional stakes, and explosive gameplay moments.

TIK TOK

Harry Potter – “Wizarding Wands” This playful TVC cleverly reimagines the traditional commercial format through the lens of TikTok. Styled as a series of short-form unboxing clips, it captures the excitement and anticipation of the Wizarding Wands blind box experience—where you never know which iconic wand you’ll uncover next. From parcels arriving in the post to surprise store finds, each segment features genuine reactions as kids unbox wands belonging to beloved characters like Hagrid, Dumbledore, and even He Who Shall Not Be Named. Shot in the unmistakable TikTok aesthetic—with punchy edits, vertical framing, and authentic user-generated energy—the campaign speaks directly to fans in their native digital language. The result? A scroll-stopping, format-flipping TVC that ticks both boxes: delivering core brand messaging for the Harry Potter franchise while resonating with the TikTok generation through fun, familiar storytelling.

SOCIAL MEDIA

DIRECT CONNECT – “Fast & Curious” Fast & Curious is a snappy, square-format (1x1) social media series designed for easy sharing—and even easier connection. Created to introduce the real people behind Direct Connect, these lighthearted videos ditch the sales pitch and spotlight the human side of the business. In each bite-sized clip, team members are hit with quick-fire binary questions—coffee or tea? Pizza or burger?—displayed on a teleprompter to keep them on their toes and their answers unrehearsed. The result? Authentic, relatable moments that highlight the quirks and commonalities we all share. Direct Connect is known for its no-fuss, get-it-done approach to helping Australians navigate one of life’s most stressful events: moving house. But this series flips the script. Instead of focusing on services like utility connections, Fast & Curious shows the warmth and humour of the people who make it all happen. It’s genuine, down-to-earth content that builds connection without ever having to sell it.

MUSIC VIDEOS

Tom Jones – “Black Betty”. A Legend Walks Into a Speakeasy. Directed and shot by Stuart Gosling, this cinematic reimagining of the iconic Lead Belly track sees Sir Tom Jones step into the role of a timeless showman in a lavish, Gatsby-inspired speakeasy fantasy. Filmed on lush 35mm at The Atlantic Club in London, the video draws on the high-contrast glamour of Prohibition-era cinema — complete with chrome accents, pastel palettes, and bold Art Deco styling. Tom arrives through a hidden entrance into a secret club alive with flappers, jazz-age misfits, and dancers in full swing. As the energy builds, he takes to the stage, commanding the room with raw presence and swagger. Behind the scenes, Tom was not just a performer but a true collaborator — gracious, humble, and hands-on. Between takes, he adjusted lights, cracked jokes with crew, and even embraced the risk of being filmed with a 10mm fisheye lens — fully aware it would distort his features, but trusting the vision for impact. That rare creative generosity made him not only a legend, but a genuine part of the team. A fusion of vintage style and modern edge, Black Betty is a celebration of sound, spectacle, and a man still pushing the boundaries of performance.

BRAND TESTIMONIALS

A Red Story – Red Energy Documentary Series. A Red Story is a heartfelt series of documentary-style testimonials that capture slices of real life from everyday Australians. With a gentle, observational tone, each episode offers a window into the lives of Red Energy customers—highlighting their personalities, routines, and relatable moments, all woven naturally around their experience with Red Energy. Rather than selling, this series connects. Through short, authentic anecdotes, viewers get a sense of how Red Energy quietly supports its customers—not just through services, but as part of the fabric of their day-to-day lives. The result is a sincere, humanising portrait of what good service looks like when it’s simply part of life’s story. A Red Story is more than a testimonial—it’s a tribute to the power of connection, trust, and the little things that keep us going.

GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS – Public Safety Announcement (PSA)

Commissioned by the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) for the Australian Federal Government, this public safety announcement delivers a vital message with both clarity and impact. Focused on new legislation affecting all quadbikes imported into Australia, the campaign strikes a powerful balance between factual information and audience engagement—because safety messaging only works when people pay attention. To avoid being overlooked, the announcement blends stylised cinematic visuals with real-world urgency. Hyper-real 3D CGI showcases a quadbike in a white studio, rotating to highlight key safety features and mandatory design changes. Intercut with dramatic, real-life action sequences that depict the very risks these new regulations are designed to prevent, the result is a visually compelling, easy-to-understand message. This isn’t just another regulation—it’s a life-saving shift. And thanks to this focused, high-impact approach, Australians are watching, understanding, and remembering what they need to know.

"Tell us what you need, then consider it done."
