Phlesch Bubble: who we are and what we do

From our studio in Melbourne, we create animation, graphics, title sequences and effects for television and interactive media producers around the world. We specialise in accurate and compelling imagery for science, nature, history and technology documentaries, museum exhibits and multimedia.

Over the past fourteen years we have built up a strong reputation for the artistry and scientific accuracy of our animations, as well as their accessibility to the public.

We have worked extensively with scientists, and our animations have been featured in lectures by AI pioneer Ray Kurzweil, nanotechnology pioneers Robert Freitas, David Forrest and Ralph Merkle, laser lightcraft inventor Leik Myrabo and astronomer Alex Wolszczan.

2002 IMM Computational Nanotechnology Prize (Simulation) for our respirocyte animation.
"The judges were very impressed with the quality of your work, the level of detail, and the fidelity
to the physics of fluid motion in the bloodstream and the biological environment of the respirocyte"
said David Forrest, President of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing. "The operation of the respirocyte
was communicated with clarity, attention to detail, scientific accuracy, and high visual impact."
