SAE STUDENT WORK
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.

Cerys spoke about the Stickers for a Sushi Restaurant project -“Designing for Yagan Tower was a unique experience, and I learnt the importance of preplanning, communicating with a real-world client, project management and self-directed learning.”
Planets is a selection of visual artefacts designed to be displayed at Yagan Square in West Australia.
SAE student Jodi Johnson created Planets in Trimester 4 of the Bachelor of Design degree and it was broadcast on the digital tower, at Yagan Square, in 2019.
Violet Hubris is a cosmic action-horror game exploring humanity’s thirst for knowledge, power, and belonging in a harsh universe. Created by SAE Melbourne students – this project features work from cross-disciplines, meaning students in different courses collaborated to bring the project to life.
