Next Level. 74 Bacton. Chandler

74 Bacton’s size is only matched by the attention to detail. This production involved two sites visits, a creative concept ‘write up’ and five days of shooting, including make-up and a full lighting truck. It is probably the most comprehensive film we have made in the prestige real estate space. The full length version, which …

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 …

Filming with fighterpilot.com.au

Produced by Sam Yeomans from Play It Again Sam, these international Web ads and conference Openers involved literally strapping software technicians, flown in from all over the world, into the back of an L-39 Albatros jet and taking them for a high-speed, rollercoaster ride WHILE we interviewed them about Cloud-based solutions. Some of these trips …

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 …

The Perfect Storm

We’ve been working with Aston Martin Sunshine’s General Manager Paul Hewitt for more than six years, “working wonders with shoestring budgets in shoe box sized locations”as he says. Let’s face it, any mug can chase a sports car around in an AC135, with a RED slung in a nose mount, a few feet off the …

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 …

Havafeed – Helping The Gold Coast’s Needy

  At platinumHD – possibly because we’re blessed to work in some of the country’s most luxurious surroundings – we’ve always had a strong pull towards helping the homeless. Those living hard on the land. Believe it or not, statistically, there is only six weeks separating you from the street. A lost job. So when the …

Queen Street. The Palladium. Stage 1 Of An 8 Year Project

It is one of the most fun and joyful parts of my role, to provide a glowing testimonial on my personal and professional relationship at working with Brett, Linda and the entire crew at PlatinumHD. Brett is nothing but a creative genius, with the commitment and dedication that transcends even the concept of going ‘over …

A Walk On The WILD Side

When Brisbane Buyer’s Agent John Leighton approached platinumHD, he wanted a web site that could not only handle a lot of rich media but one designed around big, bold ‘statement’ photography. I don’t know where the idea came from but I suggested “…how about we film you sitting with a Bengal Tiger.” John rolled up …

Launched. Propvid 2.0 – Capture Life’s Moments

We started life as propvid. In Sydney. Back in 2003 – 2004. Well. Actually our production house was called ‘Smashpop’ but everybody thought we were a rock band, so we had to bring in marketing whiz Barney McGrath to set us straight. “You shoot property video. How about Propvid.” Made a lot of sense. After …
