Betrayal of Trust

For the investigative documentary Betrayal of Trust: Australia's Childcare Crisis, we created a series of graphic sequences that visualize survivor and family testimonies. Cracked, porcelain-like child figures represent broken trust and lasting psychological damage.

/// The Challenge

/// The Challenge

The testimonies dealt with abuse and institutional failure, so the visuals had to be respectful and still have impact. We needed a metaphor strong enough to show psychological damage without being literal or sensational, delivered on tight broadcast timelines and closely tied to the mothers' accounts.

We designed Kaleido as a modular, generative identity based on geometric patterns, rotations and color shifts. The video works as both a manifesto and a demo of the brand, showing logo animations, evolving patterns and real applications that express order within creative chaos.

/// The Process

/// The Process

We developed, modeled and rigged the characters in Cinema 4D, then composed the domestic scenes around them. Animation was kept subtle to give the figures a quiet emotional presence. Look development and rendering were done in Octane, with a focus on material behavior, light contrast and volumetric atmosphere. Slow, cinematic framing reinforced the tone.
