While I can’t reveal what we were shooting in New Zealand, I can quickly talk about some of the fun we had. Filming took place on the 22nd of January 2009 on the South Island, near the township of Methven. The location was set on a farm which was nestled beneath Mt Hutt. New Zealand is a [...]

Arriving back in Melbourne only the day before, I was happy to be reminded that Australia Day Fireworks celebrations would take place on the banks of the Yarra River in the Melbourne CBD.

A quick catchup with a few familiar faces and now I’m making my way to Christchurch, New Zealand. Kind of feels like some sort of world tour!? However, before I hit Christchurch with [...]

Like everyone I guess, I’m concerned about the recession that has rocked the financial world recently. With a young family to feed, being a filmmaker these days doesn’t seem to be the best business decision one could make, however miracles do happen and January 2009 has proven to be an exceptional anomaly! After a fantastic [...]

  As New Years Eve came and went, I took the opportunity to really test out my new Canon 5D MKII. I have to say, I love it. My earlier experience with it was somewhat limited in retrospect because I wasn’t trying to control the lighting or framing in anyway. I was simply pointing and [...]
