Toomelah - The Movie

Toomelah is about ten year old boy called Daniel, who wants to be a gangster and his daily life growing up in a remote Aboriginal community - a provocative and yet comic story that transports audiences inside the community, creating an authentic world and way of life that is "Toomelah".

The Gingerbread Man highly enjoyed working in the post production department of this feature and providing our Grading & Finishing services.

Redd Inc

The Gingerbread Man was responsible for providing the visual effects for the feature film Redd Inc. Directed by Dan Krige. Written by Jonathan Green and Anthony O'Connor. Produced by Greenlight Productions. We had the privilege of working with the legend Tom Savini, and Makeup Effects Group. The Gingerbread Man provided support onset working with the Canon 5D, and also worked at augmenting all the incredible in camera special effects to make all the effects seamless to the eye. A great fun project with lots of great people. Our first horror and we were lucky to work with the people we did.

Recreator - The Movie

Recreator is a teen-orientated suspense film with roots in science fiction realism and psychological terror. It merges the anxiety and paranoia of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with the killer-next-door quality of Disturbia and the recent vampire hit Let the Right One In.

The Gingerbread Man worked on the films compositing and other areas of Post Production.
