Back To Broadbeach

I personally haven’t filmed a prestige property in Broadbeach for years. A lot of that obviously has to do with the lack of a decent budget. That changed today (Wednesday, July 15, 2020) when we had the honor and pleasure of working with Rima Stafford, on apartment 1904 in The Wave, which will be her …

ONE. One Macquarie. Teneriffe

The immaculate Judy Goodger sits down with ‘Winston’ to present this equally immaculate residence at ONE Macquarie, in Brisbane’s Teneriffe. When shooting prestige properties these days, we are leaning more and more towards ‘slides’ than gimbal moves as the latter are completely saturating the medium. And I’m not a frustrated music video DP.

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 …

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 …

IVY & EVE – And The GH5

This project marked the first time we fired Panasonic’s GH5 in anger. 4k at 60 frames per-second. The in-camera stabilisation is AMAZING and even with a Metabones Speedbooster to strap on Canon’s super fast EOS 35mm, focus was sharp. We’re ordering in a LUMIX 12-35 which also comes with gimbals on the censor. This technology …

Two Husbands In One House – An iphone ‘Home Movie’

Going into this project, we had zero intention of filming this home on a Smart phone. The production budget was healthy enough to sustain the big kit. The job was unorthodox in many ways, with the Vendor insisting on bringing independent Agent Scott Wagner in to join Harcourts to advise on video marketing. Which was …

The Game Changer

In June, we sold our RED Epic W 8K cinema camera and all accessories. After more than seven years in the RED ecosystem – and about $250,000 in kit, including numerous sensor upgrades to stay current – we just decided it was time. I’d never shot a bad picture with a RED camera. What I …
