This is the “save the date” video from Josh & Amy’s engagement party. Needless to say - we had HEAPS of fun making this video in a random field in Toowoomba. Lots of… interesting stories
I just found the REAL source of Wednesday’s Duststorm. I realized my friend Matt was not only present at the birth of the dust cloud that swept the nation the other day, he was fortunate enough to be recording at the time and captured the whole thing on camera!
Check out Matt’s amazing video!
a few minutes after the dust settled, the cloud had vanished and was well on it’s way to covering the rest of the nation with a layer of dirt.
Matt! I can’t believed that you were at the birth of this amazing phenomenon!
Matt was unfortunate enough to lose a camera during the filmming of this event.

So there we have it. The worst dust storm in 70 years, costing our economy over a billion dollars.
Can’t believe that it all came from an explosion that Matt was at somewhere in the outback… Amazing.
Matt came up with this great idea to shoot a TVC in a bar for the Brevis 35mm adapter. So we started susing out pubs in order to find the perfect “look” for the scene that we were after. Katie kindly offered to take the leading role and with a little encouragement from Matt, she got dolled up for the shoot. We didn’t have to look too far because the pub across the road from Matt & Katie’s had all the feng shui we needed!
We shot the TVC for the Brevis 35mm adapter, ironically, with the Canon 5D and a 50mm 1.4 lens. It took us about an hour to shoot and then 3 more or so to edit it up. I was in charge of the title animation and layout. After a little internet inspiration and talking Matt in to some appropriate background music via an out-vote, we were on our way…
We sent the clip off to “Cinevate” and they LOVED IT, so we were in business! The clip was viewed by tens of thousands of keen videography and communication professionals and enthusiasts at THE BIGGEST videography conference in the world - NAB. The event was hosted by Las Vegas, USA and Matt was fortunate enough to attended earlier this year. Matt’s Pics HERE.
We had fun doing this shoot given the frivolous nature of the clip. Congrats to Matt for coming up with the awesome idea & to Katie for her acting skills.
So yesterday we went to check out the new apartment and measure it up, ready to move in next week. Here are some pics I took with the iphone for you to have a squizz at…
