Anderson Studios’ Managing Director, Paul Lensen’s, contemplations have recently been drawn to the remarkable team he has the privilege of working with every day at our instructional design company. Their paths have crisscrossed in intriguing ways, creating a tapestry of interconnectedness that serves as a testament to the richness of the human experience.

In life, certain patterns emerge, weaving together the threads of our personal and professional experiences. One such pattern that has come to light recently is the beautiful concept of circles – the idea that people and connections continuously intersect and intertwine, shaping our journeys in unexpected ways.

About Our Instructional Design Company

With a wealth of experience spanning health and safety video production, animation, motion graphics, instructional design, and operational risk eLearning, Anderson Studios is committed to delivering content that educates and inspires.


Led by Paul Lensen, Anderson Studios boasts a team of specialists who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of possibility in digital learning. Three of these include Gareth, Tonga, and Kendra, each with their unique talents and backgrounds, bringing a diverse range of skills to the table, enriching the collaborative process and elevating the quality of every project undertaken.

Intertwining Journeys

Paul’s journey, marked by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to education, led him to the lecture halls of the CPUT Film Department. It was there that he first encountered Gareth and Tonga, then eager students hungry for knowledge and eager to hone their craft. Little did Paul know that these chance encounters would sow the seeds for future collaborations and creative partnerships.

Gareth, a student eager to soak up knowledge like a sponge, found himself under Paul’s tutelage, learning not only the technical aspects of filmmaking but also the importance of storytelling and creativity. Tonga, equally driven and ambitious, crossed paths with Paul in those same halls, their shared passion for cinematography laying the foundation for a lasting connection.

And then there’s Kendra, whose journey intersected with Gareth’s in a serendipitous twist of fate. As Gareth transitioned from student to teacher, he found himself in the role of mentor to Kendra, passing on the wisdom and knowledge he had acquired under Paul’s guidance.

Fast forward to the present day, and these once-separate paths have converged at Anderson Studios, where Paul, Gareth, Kendra, and Tonga now collaborate and create together. Their journeys serve as a powerful reminder of the richness that comes from the connections we make along the way – a testament to the enduring bonds forged through shared experiences.

Celebrating Collaborative Magic

At the core of Anderson Studios lies a synergy that transcends individual talents – a collaborative magic that brings projects to life with unparalleled creativity and innovation. As we reflect on the journey thus far, we celebrate not only the achievements of the team but also the beauty of collaboration itself.

“I’m grateful for the experiences shared and the creative synergy that flourishes within our team,” says Paul. “Here’s to the beauty of circles and the magic of collaboration!”

Paul’s sentiment encapsulates the essence of what makes Anderson Studios truly special. It’s not just about the individual contributions or accolades; it’s about the collective energy and passion that permeate every aspect of our work.

Within the walls of Anderson Studios, ideas are born, nurtured, and transformed through collaborative efforts. Each member of the team brings their unique perspective and expertise to the table, enriching the creative process and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Award-Winning Excellence

Among our esteemed team members stands Tonga, a testament to the exceptional talent and commitment to craft that defines our studio.

Tonga’s remarkable achievement – a SAFTA award for Best Cinematography in a Television Comedy – is a shining example of the calibre of talent within our ranks. Honoured with the prestigious SAFTA Golden Horn in 2018, Tonga’s award is a testament to his unparalleled skill behind the camera and his unwavering dedication to his craft.
