How we work

Narrative first.
Technology serves.

We're not a technology vendor. We're a creative studio that happens to have full technical capability — it's a meaningful difference.

Narrative Direction

Every project begins with story. We research, write, and direct the emotional narrative arc before a single technical decision is made. This is what makes Depthos experiences feel like art, not activations.

Experience Design

Spatial choreography, audience journey mapping, sensory layering, and design for accessibility. We design the full experience: what visitors see, hear, feel, and carry with them after they leave.

Technical Production

Full production delivery: projection mapping, LED arrays, spatial audio, interactive sensing, and custom software. We handle everything from scope and budget through to bump-in, operator training, and bump-out.

Our process

Discovery

Brief deep-dive, site visits, stakeholder interviews, audience research

Concept

Narrative development, spatial storyboards, creative presentation

Design

Technical design, content production, AV specification, budget lock

Delivery

Production, bump-in, calibration, operator handover, post-production support

The technology should disappear. What remains is the feeling.

Common questions

What's your minimum project budget?

We work with projects from $50,000 AUD. Our most common engagements fall between $120K–$350K AUD, covering full creative direction and technical production delivery.

Do you work outside Sydney?

Yes. We work across Australia — our projects have installed in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, and regional venues. We also have touring production experience for national activations.

Can you work with our existing AV or production supplier?

Absolutely. We can operate as lead creative and concept studio, leaving technical delivery to a supplier you trust — or we can handle the full scope end-to-end. We're flexible by design.

How far in advance should we engage you?

For complex installations, 6–12 months ahead of your opening date is ideal. For simpler activations, 3 months can be achievable. Get in touch early — even for a project still being scoped.
