About VANDAL

VANDAL is an Australian creative, experiential and production studio based in Sydney. Its work brings together advertising, art, moving image, interactive technology and physical environments, spanning commercial campaigns, public installations and cultural projects. The studio combines creative development with production and technical delivery across digital media and built spaces.

The business grew from the post-production company Frame, Set & Match, with the VANDAL brand launched in late 2016 as part of a broader diversification. That production background continues through its animation, visual effects, compositing, editing, colour grading and sound capabilities, alongside an expanded practice in experiential design and digital placemaking.

Moving image and physical experiences

VANDAL develops projects ranging from live-action and mixed-media campaigns to photorealistic CGI, motion design and architectural projections. Its experiential work includes augmented and virtual reality applications, interactive touchscreen exhibits, large-format LED installations and kinetic sculpture. Creative strategy and direction connect these production disciplines with the needs of brands, property developers, cultural institutions and public events.

Digital placemaking is a substantial part of the studio's practice. Its work with commercial developers includes bespoke interactive installations, augmented reality activations and digital canvases designed for public precincts. Generative AI workflows also form part of its motion-art production, alongside animation and other digital techniques.

The studio's cultural work encompasses contemporary art programming, artist collaborations and installations that bring digital media into shared environments. These activities extend its practice beyond screen-based advertising into exhibitions, environmental art and public experiences.

Across its projects, VANDAL draws on creative, production, post-production and technology capabilities within the same studio. This combination supports work that moves between filmed content, animated imagery, sound, software and physical fabrication, with delivery formats ranging from conventional campaign media to interactive and architectural settings.
