Assembly is a production company with a core team of directors, filmmakers, concept artists, graphic designers, developers, engineers, vfx specialists, 3D artists and animators. We combine these skills to meet any brief and craft award winning work. We have been doing this from Auckland, New Zealand since 2010.

General Happenings

Chuffed to have Blip win at the Best Awards 2024 - with a gold AND the coveted purple pin.

Also, thanks to Assembly's other great clients, it was fantastic to take home a silver for Otago 'Down for It'  and a bronze for 'Find the Point of Change' - the BEST royal flush!

Great result at Shots 2024. Our film - Blip 'Lightyears from Home' - took four Golds (3D animation, Charity PSA, Sound design, Use of music), and our very own Matt von Trott won joint Gold for “Director of the Year.” Assembly also won Silver for Post Production / VFX Company of the Year.

Thrilled to have Diary of a Head Injury win at Docedge last week. “NZ’s Academy Award accredited” festival - so up for Oscars consideration next year! Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Great to bag an Axis Gold for 2024!
