The Southern Entrance of the Australian War Memorial has at its heart the Oculus, a striking glass structure that bathes the underground foyer in natural light, symbolising reflection and remembrance.
Working closely with the Australian War Memorial and Studio.SC, we set out to craft a film that honours the Memorial’s evolution. Through powerful imagery and storytelling, we bring to life this journey of transformation—culminating in the unveiling of a space that extends the legacy of one of Australia’s most culturally significant landmarks.
This short film features shot breakdowns giving the viewer a journey through Minmud's creation process.
