I was pleased to be asked to help out The Funktion Studio produce this spot for Koala. Lower on the page are the scenes I worked on. Full credits below:

A dream project comes together when you combine a brave and insightful client with a creative and thoughtful agency. Making it a true pleasure to work on this project for Koala and We Are Social, to deliver this beautiful music video for a re-working of the Aussie classic. Music produced and performed by the awesomely talented Narayana Johnson, with lyrics submitted by the Australian public to reflect Aussie life in 2020.

"Home Among The Gum Trees" has been a second national anthem for Aussies since it was first released in 1974.

This year, Australian furniture brand, Koala, thought it needed updating for Australia in 2020. So, they asked the public to submit new lyrics for the much loved classic, which was then be produced and performed by the son of Wally Johnson, co-writer of the original.

The deadly new beat needed some sweet, sweet animation to accompany the release and so, The Funktion came on board to deliver the music video.

Music by River Boy. Lyrics by you.
