Scarab Studio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scarab Studio is an Australian film and video production company based in Melbourne, Australia. Scarab Studio started with the successful implementation and execution of a month long public art intervention in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, known as the Scarab Window. The team hung a data projector in a plastic cat box from the eave of an upstairs window and had it spit video art, poetry, photography, illustration and painting onto a giant wall, creating a crack in the suburbs commercial urban fabric.

Scarab Studio is now an emerging Australian production company and successful maker of broadcast and web documentaries and short films. They work in Richmond, Victoria with lots of indoor plants. Their broadcast projects include a film about The Cat Empire’s "Two Shoes" Album Recording in Cuba (screened Network Ten and Qantas) and a film titled "One Cup" about Coffee in East Timor and trade injustices (screening in 30 countries in 2007 on ABC international).
