Tales from the Flood

Get Ready Queensland’s film series wasn’t just another project; it was a call to action wrapped in an emotional whirlwind. Our brief? Turn the devastation of Queensland’s floods into a testament of human grit and community resilience. Think Netflix-level storytelling meets real-world impact.

When Get Ready Queensland  invited us to bring this to life, we knew we’d hit storytelling gold. This was no ordinary campaign—it was a chance to spotlight the heart of Queensland through raw, authentic voices. So, armed with cameras, animation magic, and a whole lot of determination, we set off across the state to capture the untold stories waiting to be shared.

Production was a full-on adventure. Imagine standing knee-deep in Grantham’s fields, filming sunlit neighbours helping each other rebuild, while kids on bikes rode through streets that had once been rivers. Up in Far North Queensland, we met a couple who’d turned their flooded home into a fortress against future disasters—absolute legends. We weren’t just making a film; we were living the story.

Back at the studio, we turned these moments into art. Engaging animations layered perfectly with heartfelt interviews, while sweeping drone shots painted the vast, sunburnt beauty of Queensland. The soundtrack? Pure goosebumps. Every element came together to craft a series that hit right in the feels while shouting an urgent message: be prepared, stay connected, and don’t wait until it’s too late.

And Queensland listened. When the series dropped, the response was electric—thousands of shares, comments like, “This made me cry AND check my emergency kit,” and a flood (pun intended) of community engagement. From social media to local presentations, Tales from the Floods didn’t just raise awareness; it sparked a movement.

This wasn’t just a campaign. It was a love letter to Queenslanders—your strength, your spirit, your stories. And we were proud to be part of it. Epic landscapes, heartfelt resilience, and a whole lot of mud—that’s how we roll.
