Blue Bandicoot Studios

Blue Bandicoot Studios is an independent animation and film production studio based in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. Founded in September 2020, it creates animated, live-action and hybrid screen content for educational organisations, community groups, businesses and broadcast audiences. Its work spans children's programming, commercial animation, documentary filmmaking and environmental science media.

Animation and visual storytelling

The studio's Animation Department specialises in 2D cut-out animation, with capabilities covering storyboarding, animatics, illustration, character design, digital rigging, background art and layout. Its services extend from early visual development through animation production and post-production, including green-screen compositing. Motion graphics, dynamic typography and logo animation support commercial, educational and campaign work.

The creative team brings previous experience on Australian television and feature productions, as well as productions associated with international entertainment companies. This experience belongs to individual team members' professional backgrounds and complements the studio's own production portfolio.

Film and educational production

The Film Department produces short films, documentaries, music videos, social media campaigns and corporate promotional material. Non-profit and community partnerships form a substantial part of its work: the studio has collaborated with more than twenty charitable and non-profit organisations, with work broadcast across major Australian networks. Its wider offering also includes screenwriting, creative publishing and educational character development.

Original and commissioned projects include Exploring with Goober, an animated children's series developed for the GodSpace SRE/RI curriculum through the Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT, and Ally and Sally, a three-part animated short series produced for Crossover Australia / Australian Baptist Ministries.

Its documentary work includes Rediscovering Australia's Lost Frogs (2024), filmed and directed by Matt Carson-Drever, and David Newman-White: In Studio, which documents the Australian artist's portraiture process. Together, these productions reflect a practice spanning children's learning, community communication, the arts and environmental storytelling.
