Qantas Super VR Game Show
PRODUCTION
When the team from NestVR approached us to create a virtual reality experience for Qantas Superannuation, we considered it a definite challenge: VR and Super didn’t sound like a match made in digital heaven, but we put our minds to it and came up with the idea of a comedic, virtual game show scenario. Employing the comic talents of veteran performer Cam Knight, we drew our inspiration from a past favourite – digital pioneer Max Headroom – and set about creating a 3D dimensional world in our near future that hashed out – in humorous and visual terms – the speculative consequences of our our financial planning. Qantas is very excited by the finished product and it will be rolling it out across their workplaces from February 2018.

BONNETS AND BRITCHES
SHORT FILM
PRODUCTION
Directed by our Creative Director Glenn Fraser with sound design by Managing Director Joseph Narai, BONNETS was developed and produced by Janey Shay, written by Jessica Kelly and shot and edited in glorious widescreen by one of our creative partners Karl Jenner from Digital Realm. It stars Janet Shay and Jessica Kelly as two love-plagued cousins in a familial struggle for matrimony.
BONNETS AND BRITCHES will have its world premiere at the Feel The Reel International Film Festival in the UK in February, 2018.
SUMMARY
In an era dominated by genteel fashions and poetical fancies, the Romantic period of Britain was also home to hidden – yet surprisingly fierce – rivalries for the hearts of men. When noble cousins Edith Perry-Ashworth and Margaret Bloxham find themselves in pursuit of the same gentleman, the matter can only be decided over a last supper of English breakfast tea and cucumber sandwiches.
MORIARTY
ENDGAME VR
PRODUCTION
Based on the Image Comics MORIARTY series by Daniel Corey and Anthony Decidue, Moriarty: Endgame VR is a first-of-its-kind comic book that allows readers to enter and experience the panels and scenes in a truly immersive virtual reality experience.
Boasting a talented cast of actors and immersive environments, Moriarty: Endgame VR brings a post-apocalyptic spin and fresh new story to a well-known cast of characters.
Built on Transmedia Entertainment’s upcoming IC Comics platform, this virtual reality comic is the first fully immersive comic book to be presented in virtual reality. Available now through Steam (link) and Viveport for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
SYNOPSIS
Cast into a London of the bleak future – a steampunk world replete with powerful zeppelins and thundering mechs – an obsession with power drives the Sherlock Holmes of myth and legend into madness. It falls to his nemesis – Professor James Moriarty – to attempt to bring balance to the chaos and try and restore a fallen city from the brink of destruction.
THE VEILED
SHORT FILM
PRODUCTION
Written by Glenn Fraser & Peter McLeod and produced by Digital Realm with Transmedia Entertainment, THE VEILED is an award-winning film about the world of human trafficking. Harnessing true stories from survivors over the world, THE VEILED presents an emotional and terrifying ride into an aspect of one of the most profitable illegal industries in the world.
THE VEILED had its world premiere representing Global Shorts at the Montreal World Film Festival in October, 2016 and in August 2017 placed second in the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Social Shorts drama category.
SYNOPSIS
Cassandra Andreadis is a professional fashion photographer with a secret; a ghost has haunted her almost her entire life. In an attempt to find peace, she undertakes a journal to the place where her story first began. Finding herself among extended family in a strangely foreign place, Cassandra begins to see things through a different prism. Against the closed world of her own people, she witnesses the awful truth of another hidden life leaking out onto the darkened streets around her. When Cassandra meets an impossibly young woman caught up in the world of human sex trafficking, she understands she can no longer be the bystander. Now, Cassandra is about to risk everything to make this one thing right, and in so doing, will uncover a web of evil that stretches across the globe.
Chalk Preschool
Newport Beach
PRODUCTION
This freshly designed Chalk Preschool is a dynamic new educational development in Newport Beach. Transmedia invites you to take a tour of the property- before it has even been built!
Available on desktop for both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, the Chalk Preschool is a fully immersive VR experience, encompassing the space in its entirety. Walk through the rooms as an adult and then, through clever innovation of our design team, as a child, to see things through their eyes.
A Google Cardboard and web-friendly version of the experience is available at the Pano link below which provides a more light-weight and easily accessible version for those without high-end headsets.
Phase Frames
Vivid Sydney 2015
PRODUCTION
Phase Frames is inspired by the technology of 1920s celluloid film-making and the workings of a zoetrope. The zoetrope was one of several early animation devices that produced the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of images on the inner surface of a spinning cylinder.
Phase Frames invites the viewer to enter a circular installation of 18 monitors, each showing the same, synchronised image. As the viewer interacts with the installation, the images on the screens are sent into different phases of action.
The interactive remix offered by the installation gives viewers a special insight into the nature of moving images and motion picture projection.

Testimonials
The team at Transmedia are great to work with. They are creative and collaborative and problem solved on the go to deliver an innovative and immersive experience that will help our Members engage with their superannuation in a fun, memorable way.
When Transmedia Entertainment worked with me to create the MORIARTY: ENDGAME VR app, they created a first-of-its-kind piece of media, executed with boldness and beauty. They have vision, they are forward-thinking, they work hard and find solutions for every problem thrown their way. They are dogged and relentless in their creativity, passion, and excellence, and they are a great team to work with.
We engaged Transmedia Entertainment to work closely with us on an educational proof of concept with the Oculus Rift. The team were able to turn around a great, fully functioning, proof of concept in a short amount of time. We were also very appreciative to get a sound recording session organised and completed with 24 hours’ notice before our voiceover guy flew interstate. All round great experience – look forward to working with the Transmedia team again!
Joe and his team were able to prototype the Safedome App and turn early concepts into a working prototype in a very short time. They were able to get the hardware and software working together to allow us to really understand the use-cases around the product, using the Build-Measure-Learn model. We set a very high bar, they delivered on time at each revision.
Joe and his team did a great job understanding my vision and interpreting it into working product! Joe has also always made himself available for discussion and been of great benefit to the ongoing development of the project.
