MANIFEST DESTINY - THE IMMERSIVE TABLE at ILA

Monkeystack created immersive screen content that transported guests from dawn in Venice Beach to nightfall at the fictitious Manifest Motel, accompanying a beautifully curated multi-course menu from Aurora Restaurant.
An experience designed to ignite all five senses and carry you completely into another world.

We can't wait to show more of this!

Huge thanks and love to the team at ILA with the brilliant Creative Lead Elise Short, and to the panel including incredible photographer Alex Frayne, Tansy Curtin from Art Gallery of South Australia and the masterful Robin Wagner.

We’re proud to have worked with Anglicare SA to create interactive virtual tours that help ease fear and anxiety in children ahead of visiting Children’s Contact Services, with a little help from two animated friends.

Guided by Kai and Bing, two playful animated characters, children discover the space in 360°, play hide and seek and watch videos at their own pace.

We captured the 360 and developed the tours to be experienced from a child’s perspective - giving children control to explore and transforming unfamiliar environments into welcoming places for connection.

An innovative virtual tour and two cartoon characters - Kai and Bing - are helping ease fear and anxiety in children ahead of supervised family visitation 🤩

AnglicareSA’s Children’s Contact Services provides a safe, child-friendly space for parents going through the family court, to reconnect with their children. Supervised access is usually court ordered and involves children of all ages.

Characters Kai and Bing take children on virtual tours of the centres and introduce them to the child friendly spaces. Children have 360-degree control of a camera that allows them to explore and familiarise themselves with the space 👏

It was a golden night for Monkeystack at the 2025 AEAF Awards! ✨

🥈 SILVER - Education & Infographics: Amniote Tracks for Flinders University

We're proud for our two projects to be recognised at this year's Australian Effects & Animation Festival Awards, a celebration of creative and technical excellence in visual effects and animation.

Here's to our brilliant team of talented creatives, with a huge thanks to the AEAF judges and our wonderful clients for the opportunity to bring these stories to life.

New work from 350 million years ago!

Monkeystack produced 3D animations to visualise Flinders University’s outstanding discovery of fossilised footprints - the oldest evidence in the world of a reptile-like animal walking around on land.

Working closely with the project team of subject matter experts, we created 3D animated scenes of the four-legged Amniote moving through a Prehistoric Carboniferous Forest environment complete with weather elements, bringing the story and scientific significance of the animal’s tracks to life.
