Hyperbeam is a nimble animation studio led by director Kai Higham. Functioning fluidly between solo practice and full-scale production house, Hyperbeam adapts to the needs of each project — whether that means Kai handling everything from storyboard to final delivery, or assembling a bespoke team from a trusted network of top-tier designers and animators.
You’ll find Hyperbeam’s work lighting up Rod Laver Arena during the Australian Open, in George Watsky’s DOT XXX music video, and across campaigns for brands like Grill’d, Cotton On, University of Melbourne, and IAG — to name a few.
Bandit boy is the culmination of small animation and design concept tests growing again and again when asking "what if x happened next". Then before you know it you've stumbled into a short film.
A lot of fun playing with the tropes of silent films, and using design as a language for character expression. Bandit boy is the baddest lil boi in the west.
