We are really pleased and excited to be supported by Creative Enterprise.
This support will enable us to explore and build knowledge in combining AR, animation and print media.

Tapocketa (pronounced Ta-pocket-ah) was set up in 2018 to innovate and explore rich and engaging animation techniques to tell stories that reach beyond the norm.
We are really interested in building connections between the world of animation and digital storytelling, with the experience of paper and real life tactile stuff.
We love working with people who also enjoy their work and on projects that have a positive impact on both others and the environment around us, from the thoughtful to the funny. Unethical projects won't impress or interest us. And an open and welcoming appreciation for all things equal (ie everyone) is the way to go. We recognise and value top quality and skilled work and believe that adventure lies in the opportunities, collaborations and discoveries yet to come.
A great way of seeing more of our work and behind-the-scenes processes.
