Animal Beatbox 2011 dir. Damon Gameau (2:37 mins)

"Short film using stop-start animation, with cut outs of animals and their names repeated to a beat." National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra

Hello 2003 dir. Jonathan Nix (7 mins)

"This gently funny short is a take on the classic 'boy wants girl’ love story, set in a fantastical world where all the characters have music players for heads. A boy with an analog tape recorder for a head, is a shy and awkward romantic. The object of his desire has a more up-to-date digital device (a portable CD player). The metaphor extends when the boy seeks advice from a wise old man, whose head is a gramophone." Australian Screen

Easy Way Out 2012 dir. Oh Yeah Wow (3:57 mins)

Video clip for Gotye’s ‘Easy Way Out’

Rippled 2012 dir. Oh Yeah Wow (3:16 mins)

Autumn Story 2009 dir. Lucinda Schreiber (3:29 mins)

"Chalk animated music video for Firekites ‘Autumn Story’" Lucinda Schreiber

Tiger Yaltangki 2016 dir. Tiger Yaltangki (3:27 mins)

The video combines animation and live action in a chaotic celebration of Yaltangki’s love of rock n roll music, science fiction films and his home community of Indulkana." Tiger Yaltangki
