We are thrilled to share that we partnered with FIN Design + Effects in Australia, lead by Milk Visual Effects in London, to work on SURVIVING EARTH for Loud Minds Ltd and Universal Television Alternative Studio. The series will air on NBC and stream on Peacock, 11 June 2026, 8pm ET/PT!

HUUUGE thank you to our #SurvivingEarth team of amazing Rockies who poured their passion and craftsmanship into creating something sooo breathtaking together on this show 💪😍

"Surviving Earth is a visually stunning prehistoric documentary series that takes viewers back 450 million years in the past. Over the course of eight episodes, Surviving Earth breaks down how Earth survived history's most catastrophic environmental crises and continues to thrive today. "

🥳 We are so proud, amazed, relieved, and absolutely thrilled to be celebrating 6 YEARS OF FLOATING ROCK! 🎉 (Sound on for the best crowd singing!)

Only about 50% of businesses make it to the 5th year... and here we are at 6! Last year was harsh and we didn't have a good chance to celebrate so we made sure to this year! 💪

It was truly special to have our Rockies, friends, and partners all in one room- people who have seen Floating Rock evolve through different stages of growth, chaos, and ambition. What a beautiful community we have ❤️ Thank you all for believing in us, supporting us, and being a part of this wild journey.

Here's to another 6 years! 🥂

It’s been a roller coaster of year, but so much to be thankful for, and I’m grateful to have such a beautiful whanau to celebrate Thanksgiving with every year down in our little corner of the world. Love all you turkeys. #happythankgiving

What a fantastically chaotic and inspiring week at #Annecy! 🤩

@laurentherveic , Garrick Rawlingson, and Nathan Santell, represented Floating Rock at the festival. This year we:

🐦 Teamed up with @sidefxhoudini for a deep dive into using #KineFX to shape MOTU MANU, a stunning feature in development by @george_elizart about Aoteaora's native birds.

🥝 Packed the room in our 3hr workshop, animating MOTU MANU's quirky kiwi in #Houdini, led by @garrickrawlingson

🤩 Supported and spotlighted @floatingrockpitchfest creators from our development slate. So proud to see a few of them pitch on the other side of the world!

🦭 MANATEENS by Victor Rolf Janhagen
💨 STINKY PITS by Frida and Ben Powdrell / Francesca Carney (Let Nathan Santell know if you want to see more!)

🥖 Brought over 50 creatives together for a picnic, connecting industry pros and students over baguettes, cheese, and saucissons! (yum! and merci beaucoup Mama Rawlingson for organising!)

🙌 Huge thanks to @sidefxhoudini , Screen Wellington, @nzfilm and @vfxguildnz for your support this year. See you next year @annecyfestival
