Freedom @ The Beach

Shot in between the smoke haze from the summer’s horrendous fires. Our first serious run with the Panasonic S1H. The first time I looked through the electronic viewfinder, I was gob-smacked by the clarity. Shooting through a Canon 85mm prime (thanks to a Sigma converter), with a polarizer in the Matte box, and you could …

LUME. Kangaroo Point

We had just started working on this project when COVID 19 hit, punching a few holes in the production. We’re still slated to return to shoot the penthouses. This is a generic ‘interim’ film based on interviews with architect Casey Vallance. When shooting new developments, the hard part is coming up with an idea for …

The Nest. Breaking On Through.

This is the breakthrough video we’d been collaborating on and agonizing over for more than a decade. That’s how far Heath Williams and I go back; all the way back to H-House. And I suppose it takes that long for everything to gell. Trust. Knowledge. Experience. And trust. Heath is the ‘Architect’s Agent’. As a …

Mishy Canning

Something unusual in the world of agent profiles. An agent who didn’t want to be on camera. All Mishy Canning wanted to do was re-create an old story, and share it. So that’s what we  did. Model Allira Cohrs played Mishy, in her first dramatic outing, and actor Vince Gorce played the home-owner, who was …

Resilient Men

Luke was backstage at the Queensland Titles of the Compete Naturally bodybuilding championships. Within half an hour, he’d be on stage claiming two trophies. The bright lights of the stage a far cry from the nights when he’d drink 30 cans of beer and end up on the cold floor of a police cell, in …

HavaFeed.org

This Gold Coast-based charity feeds those ‘living hard’ out of a kitchen in Miami. We’re proud that the first film we made helped raise over $60,000 which actually built that facility. The challenge in making a film like this is in the sensitivity and empathy you need around the interviews. Living hard is one of …

Polo By The Sea for McLaren.

A social production for McLaren Gold Coast. We filmed the horses on a full-frame 100-400m Canon zoom lens, strapped to speed booster on a Panasonic GH5, rolling at 60 frames-per-second. The smaller microsensor gave us plenty more zoom. One of the problems I’ve always have in shooting outdoor events is the dirt and dust, and …

Aston Martin’s DBS Superleggera

We’ve been working with Sunshine Automotive and the Aston brand for almost seven years now with the production values steadily improving as the Client has settled comfortably into all aspects of video marketing. Aston Martin Queensland General Manager Paul Hewitt is very natural and spontaneous in front of a camera and we all have the …
