Team
Megafun is a company based around a combination of permanent staff and a core group of freelance individuals whose work covers a multitude of disciplines.

Those involved have a wealth of experience in their respective fields, and bring to the Megafun projects a wide range of skills, expertise and enthusiasm.

Keith Tucker - Director

With a solid background in the arts and entertainment, Keith has long been involved in large scale theatrical performances and events, as well as developing a significant body of work in the field of interactive multimedia.

After 15 years of technical and design work in theatre (Australian Dance Theatre), exhibitions (Tandanya - Aboriginal Cultural Institute) and events (Adelaide Fringe Festival), Keith expanded into the design and development of hands–on interactive experiences. This resulted in a series of major touring exhibitions (Megafun with Computers and Powerplay) which toured throughout the world and were visited by over one million people.

This diverse background formed the basis for his last decade of work. This has included set and lighting design for international theatrical tours; major exhibition and exhibit design for Melbourne Museum and ACMI (resulting in three international awards for interactive multimedia); an interactive puzzle park for Phillip Island; a hands on exhibition about Chocolate, major external lighting projects for Federation Square and the World Swimming Championships and perhaps most well known, Creative Director/Producer of “The Fish” - the Yarra River component of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony and nightly spectacle.
