Creative Stuff – Perkler™ Films and Animation

The Perkler™ Films

We have created and distributed a series of cheeky films about our concept.

Canberra full service production company Bearcage made the films for us. Like all things Perkler™ the films were a collaboration – we wrote the scripts and Bearcage's talented direction and production skills took our idea to a whole new level.

Look them up at www.bearcage.com.au if you need the highest quality full service film, video, interactive and television production company going around.

The Perkler™ Animation

Our homepage carries a great short animation commissioned by us. Australian animator Leonard Ward (now in Cologne Germany) put together the adventure for us. We love it. You can visit Leonard’s blog to see what he is up to.
