So brash were we, we hung a mini jib two metres out the window, slung with a Sony EX1. Building security would have had a cow had they seen what we were up to; a dizzying shot looking straight down the spine of Queensland’s tallest residential building. At 78 stories. We were on level 75. …

Casa Albero – The First Platinum Film
Dave Adams was a natural on camera. One of those rare comedic talents. Dave, from Ray White Broadbeach, swore by real estate video and we’d made some great ones. He wouldn’t list a home without a budget of at least $2,500 for propvid. I’d visit the property. We’d bounce some ideas around. Then I’d write …
My Fiji For Rewards Corp
And the first big hit out on the Canon 5DMII. Armed with a pack of LEE filters, a few old Zeiss primes and the old faithful 70-200mm, Christian Fitzpatrick and I threw ourselves at the mercy of another RewardCorp’s shoot in Fiji in the wet season. The last time we were here, we were very …
Dane Atherton. Putting On The Ritz.
As silky as oil down a wet road, not even Teflon could stick to Dane.
Eden On Sunset
This video marked the first time ‘platinum‘ appeared as a brand, defining a platinum video. Ray White Broadbeach’s Blake Haddleton sold out the building off the back of this film, which saw Westpac chief pilot Peter Bird doing some incredible aerials chasing a fast boat up the Broadwater, with Playboy golf model Jennifer Kachel hanging on …
Reflections – Tower II
This is one of my favourites. A decent budget – $8,800 (Aus) – and a great presenter, Kristine Lehmann, with the time to do it properly. Only my second outing on the SONY X1 – with a dash of Letus on the BMW and rooftop shots. We screwed on a couple of old Nikon prime …
Making The Blockbuster. BTS. Episode 2
Blockbuster 08
Brash. Fake it will you make it. For the promo for the 008 Blockbuster, we slipped into the race crowd with special passes for a ride on a Blackhawk as part of the Indy celebrations. The airforce just assumed we were the BTS CREW and away we went. Inside running. What’s a Blackhawk got to …
We Are Broadbeach. V 1.3
Barney McGrath, ex-NY advertising guru largely responsible for the modern re-make of the real estate agency with his breakout vision for McGrath, had just finished a major overhaul on the Ray White logo and collateral. Now he was turning his blowtorch like attention to Broadbeach with a good idea. “We are Broadbeach.” Simple. It encapsulated what …
The Blockbuster 07
Ray White Broadbeach principal Gary Gannon was at full-throttle, motivating a room full of Agents in preparation for the summer auction craze on the Gold Coast. We’d pitched him an idea for the world’s first high-definition in-room video auction called The Blockbuster. It would go head to head against Ray White Surfer’s Paradise’s seminal The …
