Founded by former Imagination director Heath Campanaro, Heckler co-founders Will Alexander and Jamie Watson, and former Imagination creative director Simon Connell, Supergiant fuses design, VFX, entertainment, lighting, technology and music to deliver culturally iconic projects and immersive experiences.
Heath has been at the helm of the country’s largest experience agency for the past 20 years, working alongside Simon to create some of the country’s biggest and most dynamic events.
They have teamed up with Will and Jamie, co-founders of Heckler, the globally acclaimed design and post-production studio behind award-winning films, TVCs and experiential installations, to create an entirely new kind of creative work.
Supergiant’s debut project was at Glastonbury, where the team was tasked with designing and producing large-scale content for the famous music festival’s three largest stages. The Pyramid Stage and Other Stages featured over 250 motion graphics packages designed by Supergiant in collaboration with festival graphic artist Stanley Donwood. Glastonbury’s new Dragonfly installation (created by Arcadia Spectacular) and the DJ Stage also featured incredible 3D motion content for the opening ceremony by Fatboy Slim. Supergiant also assisted Australian immersive media studio Astral Projects in working with Aboriginal songman Barry McGuire, from the Baradon, Whadjuk and Noongar peoples, to tell the Dreamtime story of the Dragonfly.
“Supergiant was founded to create the experiences we all love, crave and rave about – immersing people in the design, music, light, technology and ideas that entertain and create core memories,” said Heath Campanaro, co-founder and managing director of Supergiant.
“Simon and I have had a great creative partnership over the years, but by teaming up with Will and Jamie at Heckler, who have produced some of the world’s best art installations, music videos, live events, activations and experimental performance pieces, we are bringing a whole new level of artistry to Supergiant.”
Will Alexander, co-founder and director of Supergiant, added: “We are excited about the incredible potential of this partnership. Heath has an unrivalled reputation in the events industry and together he and Simon have delivered some of the largest and most dynamic live experiential projects on the planet. When you add the high-end artistry that Jamie and I have built at Heckler and the depth of our teams in Sydney and Singapore, the synergy is unmatched. We are confident we are at the start of something new and truly exciting!”
