More about Lightfarm Studios

Origins and creative community

The Lightfarm venture began in Auckland in 2010. Brazilian artists Milton Menezes and Rafael de Castro Vallaperde later partnered with the original founders after formative work at the New Zealand studio, establishing Lightfarm Brasil in Rio de Janeiro.

In 2017, studio leadership co-founded UNHIDE School, a digital-art education platform and community conference.

Production methods

For the original short Snooze, Lightfarm used full-body motion capture with a Rokoko Smartsuit Pro.
