If there was a fraying in the controversial, headline grabbing Neo pairing of Adrian Jenkins and Ian Adams, 79 The Sovereign Mile was the first loose thread pulled, with Ian begging out any main appearances in an Entourage-inspired piece featuring babes toting machine guys and Adrian dressed as a New York pimp but doing a …

BACKBONE
Increasingly, we’re called on to come up with creative for content. We love it. It’s in our DNA. Our philosophy is branded content. It is not Creative by Committee. We don’t do ‘safe’. Not on the big jobs anyway. A great mate of PlatinumHD, Murray Jones, from Brisbane’s BIG IDEAS Group sent us this ad. …
Lakelands by NEO
For those who don’t know, Neo‘s Ian Adams was a SWAT cop back in the UK. The best of the best. He has an unashamed, unabashed comedic quality about him, not dissimilar to the great Benny Hill. He can have fun with being sexist, taking it right up to the line with through self-deprecating sense …
The Island
Some jobs just become a labour of love. And so it was for The Island. We spent a few days filming this enchanted place at Toogoom, on the Sunshine Coast, including some white-knuckled rides in a JetRanger. The Fraser Coast Chronicle reports: THE ISLAND at Toogoom will go under the hammer on December 9, after Aussie …
Ballin Downs – A Testimonial
This just in from Agent Jason Savage on the Ballin Downs video – produced over three days, for $15,000 plus helicopter aerials. And again, we broke all the rules here. It is a generally accepted rule of real estate marketing that you never ever film or even associate a home-owner or his/her memories in any …

Indi Agents go big on video
Our Senior DP, Brett Clements, was invited along by Glenn Twiddle to put his unique spin on the 2011 Queensland Real Estate Agents Summit at Brisbane’s Greek Club. The QREAS is largely a conference for the independents, who are really starting to pick up on video, particularly its killer application for distribution across social media. …
Ballin Downs. A’lysee’s Story
This marks the first time we’ve introduced a real human touch to a property film. This is A’lysse’s true Story. A’lysse also brought a real vision to this three-day production, aiming for a high-end polo look in terms of wardrobe. The production, the most expensive residential shoot produced to date, included two other pieces – …
The Next Great Internet Marketing Scam
Get ready for the next great wave of marketing companies with promises to deliver tens of thousands of eyeballs to your videos for $129.00. Guaranteed. Seriously. If it sounds too good to be true….it probably is. Online video is not about harvesting views by plugging into third-world farms where thousands of droids (real or otherwise) …
Battleground Living Room
In the world we come from, we lived and died on things called ratings. If the films and TV shows we made were bad, the audience switched off – and we’d all get axed. Being fired by Kerry Packer at 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon was good for the soul. I’ve been there and done …
