    paper Vivid 2024, Sydney Opera House

    Andy Noonan was privileged to be invited by Pleasant Company to create for Vivid Sydney 2024, illuminating the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House. Being part of what is widely considered the pinnacle of the Vivid program each year was an extraordinary experience.

    Collaborating with visionary Creative Director Christian Heinrich and the immensely talented artist Julia Gutman was truly inspiring. Their creativity and passion were integral to the project’s success.

    It was a pleasure to work alongside fellow animator Julian Reinhold and the technical genius Phil Sullivan on this remarkable adventure. We are proud to have played a key role in bringing this project to life.
