"Being able to finish my degree and start my career at the age of 19 was a huge plus for me, as it meant I got four years in the industry before I started my business."

“Studying at SAE provided me with a structure, and connected a lot of the dots, so when I went out into the industry and an engineer started talking about live sound, I was able to understand that because of the rounded education I got from my time at SAE.”

Overview

Kukunochi is a sophisticated and cross collaborative short film involving students from Animation, Film, Design and Audio courses at SAE.

The Kukunochi film is the final capstone project for many of the students completing bachelor degrees at SAE Perth.

Synopsis: The story presents an arrogant girl, Katsumi, who learns a thing or two from Yamato, who embodies kindness and humility. Their unbalanced relationship is encapsulated through their sparring as they practice Kendo. Katsumi’s arrogance beats down on Yamato again and again. However, even when beaten repeatedly, Yamato’s determination never fazes.

They emotionally evolve after having experienced a confrontation with an angered spirit called the Kukunochi, where Katsumi learns the true meaning of humility.

Campus Byron Bay

Year Produced 2016

Overview

MitchID is the work of Mitchell Viney and served as his personal branding identity which he used for his professional portfolio and online presence. The project aims to highlight his 3D illustration, branding and graphic design skills.

Industry professional programs such as the Adobe Suite were integrated with 3D software such as Maxon Cinema 4D. Mitch experimented with colour, tone and texture to create these 3D illustrations exploring themes such as organic / nature VS structural/man-made.

Whilst still studying Mitch has secured work from organisations such as Bond & Coyne Studio, London and A & R Healthcare.
