A fashion video for my sister inlaw’s Maya May label with music by Avene

Maya May 'Butterfly Dream' fashion video

My first ever fashion video. I put this together for my sister inlaw for her Butterfly Dream collection. The first part of the video was shot at Oatley Park and the last part was shot at La Perouse. The shooting went on for pretty much the whole day, unlike a music video that can easily be done in aa couple of hours. The models had to change clothes, the photographer had to ....

Small Time Hustlers – ‘High Grade’ music video edited by Avene

Small Time Hustlers - High Grade

A bit slow posting this. I completed this video last year for the Small Time Hustlers (Tycotic & Jacquie). I just did the editing, compositing and colouring on this one. They shot the whole video themselves. All the outdoor footage they shot on location in Mauritious during a trip there. The rest they shot on greenscreen. All shot using a JVC HD7 HDV camera. They sent me the files from the camera ....

Kerser ‘Watch Me Get Em’ ft. Nebs, music video by Avene

Kerser - watch me get em, ft. Nebs

A video I shot and edited for Kerser in 2011. As I write this, the video has already over 150,000 plays on YouTube, on Kerser's and my channel combined. The track was produced by Nebs who also appears in the video. I picked up the guys early in the morning and we started shooting at McQuarie Fields station. From there we caught a train to Campbelltown, shot a bunch of shots along ....

Giving Flickr the flick?

My Flickr Pro account just expired recently and rather than paying them another $24.95 to keep my photos on their website for a year more, I've been looking at another option. Google's Picasa.With Google+, Picasa has become a great option for photos. I've always liked the Picasa application, but even more so now that I can easily upload photos there straight from the application at a maximum 2048x2048 resolution. And of course ....

MC Kean – ‘Memoirs’ music video by Avene

MC Kean - Memoirs music video

This video was shot during the Sydney Vivid Light Festival which took place around the middle of June, 2011. Although It's an annual event now. This year it was around Circular Quay and the Rocks area. Last year, they used historic buildings in Macquarie street. Anyway, we didn't get to Circular Quay until later in the evening, by which time many of the lights had been switched off. A few of those ....

Testing a Circular Polarising Filter

Testing a circular polarising filter

Today's photos, all taken on the Canon S95 using a circular polarising filter attached to the Lensmate adapter on the S95, or should I say 'polarizing filter' for those of you in the US :) Here is a description of what polarising filters do, thanks to Wikipedia: A polarizing filter, used both in color and black and white photography, filters out light polarized perpendicularly to the axis of the filter. This has ....

The Holy Sinner -

Watch video on YouTube here. The Holy Sinner - 'Born To Rap' music video by Avene. Now this is the sort of video I like making! Quick to shoot, fun to edit and just as much fun to watch.

Chriscol feat. Madlin - Private Show music video

Watch on YouTube here. Chriscol feat. Madlin Gabriel - 'Private Show' music video by Avene. The third video I have completed for Chriscol, this time featuring Madlin Gabriel on vocals.

Nice to have shots of dancers to work with. This ....
