Longer movies:

Want a longer film? Pick one of the options above and multiply it.

For more difficult productions and/or significantly longer films I may need to charge more.

Film ads:

Have you considered a real film ad for your business or brand?

Film is super-cool for online, TV, and cinema ads.

Narrative (scripted) productions:

I can do sync-sound with Super 16. I record audio with Sound Devices recorder and Rode and Deity mics.

For narrative a higher shooting ratio is usually necessary, E.g. at least 3:1 for a low-budget movie. The prices listed above are for 2:1 shooting ratio.

My training and background in film:

I learned professional crew and cinematography at SAE, in West End, Brisbane.

I was the cinematographer for a 30 minute movie, shot on film, in Nambour with four actors.

It was enthusiastically received by large audiences. I’ve also made several other short films in several states.

I have experience as a successful camera operator and editor.

Discounts for some projects:

Sometimes I give big discounts for footage I can use in my showreel, and for community projects. If interested, just ask.

Very low risk with film, plus my guarantee:

For a wedding I can also set up a digital camera and microphone on a tripod and record on video at the same time if you like. You have to accept with film cameras that there’s a very slight risk that a roll of film might not come out well. This was always the case with film. If the footage isn’t good, I won’t charge you for it. 99% of my film rolls come out perfectly.
