New Holland launches in Paddington’s Old Manse

In an exciting addition to the creative community, New Holland has launched in Australia with a landmark studio in the heart of Paddington, housing some of the best design direction and animation talent in the industry.

New Holland is a fresh creative entity, forging new horizons in design and motion for clients in advertising, broadcast, branding and feature film.

Foundation crew include Brendan Savage, Clinton Downs and designer / director Davros, teaming with Kath Raphael in production. With headquarters  in Sydney, the nimble, creative team is geared to respond to both local and global projects with innovative and creative solutions.

The studio has been set up in Paddington’s heritage Old Manse, built in 1845, almost destroyed by fire in 1990, and recently renovated as part of the iconic St John’s church redevelopment.

The team forms New Holland knowing the importance of combining design with strong CG and robust technical capabilities. Savage is one of the industry’s most respected design directors and comes with an impressive portfolio across commercials, film and broadcast.  Savage was head of design during the heady days at internationally renowned VFX company Fuel, building an envied creative team that designed visual effects for top line clients Marvel and 20th Century Fox. In recent years at both Alt.vfx and Fin Design + Effects, he has worked with some of the region’s top production companies including Revolver, GoodOil, The Sweet Shop, Plaza, Finch, Exit, Curious and Collider, winning numerous awards along the way.

Downs joins New Holland from Iloura, having supervised the computer graphics on some of the largest feature film projects this country has seen. He lists Bazmark’s the Great Gatsby, Mad Max Fury Road and the 2016 release Gods of Egypt as major achievements, but above all else, Clinton is driven by a genuine love of the moving image – whatever form it takes.

Says Downs: “Brendan and I have worked together on and off over the past 17 years, with a reputation for being capable of more than the sum of our parts. I’m incredibly excited at the opportunity New Holland presents, and I know we’ll create some amazing work!”

Designer / director Davros joins New Holland with an accomplished background in design and motion graphics. As an emerging talent in live action direction, Davros adds real dimension to New Holland. His distinctive visual style and strong eye for detail has impressed clients and major brands such as Microsoft, Harley Davidson, LG, Asics Tiger, Optus and Telstra.   Heavy hitting post houses such as Alt vfx, Fin Design and Cutting Edge, have regularly called upon Davros.

Senior producer Kath Raphael represents the exceptional team at New Holland. Her comprehensive experience in film and TVC post production, VFX, editorial and design offers clients an understanding of creative needs, deadlines and impeccable results.

Says Savage: “We’ve embraced our vision for a high level studio with an emphasis on design and creative direction.  New Holland offers collaboration and solutions for clients who want want to explore the full spectrum of graphic design, concept development, animation and project supervision.”
