Handball Heroes

Carbon Media, 2013

Handball Heroes is a fun, fast-paced interstitial series, with hosts Joel and Alannah on the hunt for the most skilled of handball manoeuvres, to document in the 'Handball Heroes Handbook'.

Their quest takes us to visit 20 funny, quirky and spunky kids from Sydney, right up to the Torres Strait (at the very top of Queensland) and everywhere in between. In each episode, the hosts visit the 'Handball Hero' in their hometown.

We meet with their family and friends, see their hobbies and hear about their heroes in the ‘Hero Package’. After Alannah and Joel have worn themselves out chasing around after our energetic handballer, it’s time for their signature move… a move that combines each individual child’s unique influences, hobbies or aspects from their community.

Handball Heroes is a visual feast - shot entirely on a high-speed camera and combining bespoke, hand-drawn animation elements with 3D graphics, the signature move is the centrepiece for each episode. Each move is then ‘booked’ in the 'Handball Heroes Handbook', for the rest of handball history!
