Directed by Alex Feggans through Sedona.

The Victorian Department of Education is celebrating the powerful role kindergarten plays in a child’s early development in a campaign via Fenton Stephens. 

‘Free Kinder shapes young lives’ takes familiar symbols of kindergarten play - squares, circles, triangles and more - and gives them deeper meaning, transforming them into life-sized portals into the world of kinder. 

Created in close partnership with early childhood subject-matter experts, each shape represents a key developmental benefit of high-quality early childhood education.  

The portal transitions were captured in camera using three-dimensional giant wooden shapes. 

The films were directed by Alex Feggans through Sedona and supported by social, print, outdoor and radio. 

“The magic began when we hit on the idea of shapes being portals. Move over, Narnia!” said Fenton Stephens chief creative officer, Alex Fenton.
