Assembly is an award-winning digital production studio with a core team of directors, filmmakers, concept artists, graphic designers, developers, engineers, VFX specialists, 3D artists, and animators. They combine this range of technical prowess in order to create connections across the broadest range of visual storytelling. This is their first representation.
Based in New Zealand, Assembly is comprised of Damon Duncan, Jonny Kofoed, Matt von Trott, and Rhys Dippie. At the forefront of innovative storytelling, they integrate their extensive and varied skills to meet a staggering variety of creative briefs, earning them a global reputation as being the digital house to solve complicated problems. They use and create technology to build connection and understanding, to provoke, and to craft stories that resonate, inspire, educate, and inform.
Assembly’s eye for design, storytelling, and visual effects have produced award-winning work that explores the intersection between art, music, advertising, and culture. Recent work includes the main titles for the award-winning feature film Jojo Rabbit, all of the VFX in the BBC’s 6-part series The Luminaries, the 3D animations for Sony’s Be Moved website experience, and animations for both Burger King and Verizon. They also created an intimate elegy to music legend Tom Petty for his song Wildflowers, using never before seen footage from album sessions provided by Petty’s family. Other brands and clients they have worked with include Samsung, Audi, VW, Lexus, Singapore Airlines, Pepsi, Skittles, Marvel, Microsoft, Google, Nike, Marc Jacobs, IBM, GE, and Budweiser; they have worked with iconic artists such as Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams, Zendaya, Coldplay, and Rihanna; and top agencies like Wieden+Kennedy/Portland, FCB/New Zealand, Deutsch/New York, Clemenger BBDO, Colenso BBDO, and Y&R/New Zealand.
