When the War Is Over

Animation for documentary

---

When the War Is Over is a five-episode documentary series exploring how art (films, songs, books, paintings) helps Australians understand, process, and heal from conflicts like Gallipoli, Vietnam, and the Australian Wars, streamed on ABC iview.

Lafinka Studio was thrilled to create a wide range of visual GFX — from animated maps and title sequences to illustrated motion graphics — helping bring these stories to life across all episodes.

Style Frames

Part of the journey involved defining a visual style that would be respectful of the memories of those who lived through the war, while also aligning with the diverse artistic disciplines explored throughout the series.
