WHALE SHARK JACK ☀️ True friendship dives deep. ✨
A Stan Original Film - Only on Stan, April 2

were brought onto Whale Shark Jack in pre-production to develop concepts that would guide the film’s asset capture from day one. Two creative directions were explored to connect with families and younger audiences – both centred on the heart of the story: friendship. 🐋💙

One of the biggest challenges was in balancing the sheer scale of a whale shark alongside our talent. From the outset, we shaped a warm, family-friendly campaign that champions connection, ecological awareness, and a proudly Australian feel.

And much credit to and for continuing to champion Australian stories and children’s television. 👏🇦🇺

A huge thank you to the Stan Originals team for their support and collaboration, and to our creative team for helping bring the key art to life.

Our key art for KILLER WHALE has been released ahead of its digital and limited theatrical release.

This was one of those projects that reminds you why process matters.
When we began developing the poster, the film was still deep in post-production. The orca was largely CGI. There was no finished creature, no final water simulations, no locked “look” to lean on. Just a script, two rising stars, a styrofoam rock on blue-screen and a strong sense that this needed to feel elevated.

Creature thrillers can easily slip into B-grade territory. With Virginia Gardner and Mel Jarnson leading the film, and an underlying ecological message driving the story, we felt this deserved something more cinematic.

So before we designed anything, we aligned on positioning.

Is this a monster movie, or a revenge story?
Are audiences meant to fear Ceto — or empathise with her?
Once that intention was clear, everything else became simpler.

We developed concepts that defined the emotional architecture early — camera angle, threat direction, how much of the orca to reveal, and how strong and connected the women should feel. By the time we got to the shoot (with the actors perched on a styrofoam rock in a studio), we weren’t guessing; it was about executing a clearly defined idea. The talent and photographer know exactly what we’re trying to achieve, and we can put our energy into delivering the best performances and technical ex*****on during the shoot.

Thank you to Chloe and at for trusting the process, and a huge shout-out to the team who brought this one to life, including , and .fell . Thank you also to for help in the early concept development.
