Commander Sam is an award-winning film created by SAE students from SAE Melbourne.
The story is about Sam and Neil, who are astronauts, and their world is surrounded by space-inspired creations. Sam spends her night in a spaceship forged from her father’s work van who works night construction, but after a dangerously close encounter, their relationship is challenged.
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.

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.
