Future Made In Australia x Cox Inall Ridgeway

Studio Gilay collaborated with First Nations social agency Cox Inall Ridgeway to make two animations that support the Australian Governments new economic plan, ‘Future Made in Australia’.

Using 3D software, we designed an enthusiastic First Nations woman, Jess, to help tell the story of what our future will look like with ‘Future Made in Australia’. Through Jess’ initiative, we see her shift from a graduating student, to a mineral scientist and then a green-tech engineer. Our clear narrative shows the plans impact on individuals such as Jess, on local communities and our nation.

We were excited to collaborate with Gomeroi artist, Caitlin Trindall, to visually influence the story, design and colour palette.
