This was one of those rare dream jobs that comes completely out of the blue. Driving down to Melbourne for Christmas in '23 I got a call from Jason French at Spinifex asking if I'd be interested in tackling a projection mapping animation for Sydney's 2024 Vivid festival. I'd been interested in projection mapping since I first saw it, so obviously I was keen, but the clincher was we'd be animating the work of the great Reg Mombassa. As I said, a dream job.

​

And Reg was a dream collaborator. Not a precious bone in his body, he left us to our devices interpreting his idea of a robot on a road trip through his surreal worlds. With 3500 artworks in our greedy little fists, Jason and I nutted out an absurd story and I spent the next three months gleefully animating joyous nonsense with the invaluable help of the supremely talented animators and technicians at Spinifex Group Sydney and the producer you always want at your back, David Hoare.

​

And anytime someone suggested maybe something we did was a little too weird, Reg was there to say no! Make it weirder!
