April - July 2022
Finished off outstanding scenes for the doco feature,
" The Silent World of Barry Priori".
Directed by Anne Tsoulis and
produced by Alison Wotherspoon.

On the weekends, I am enjoying filming and live streaming all sorts of sports, namely the NPL mens and womens soccer.
January - March 2022
A busy start to the year with numerous projects happening. Namely, more S.A. Museum videos and filming Raymond Crowe's "Unusualism" show during the Adelaide Fringe festival.
As well as finishing off a few pick ups for a feature film.
July 2021 - Dec. 2021
Recently, I fulfilled a variety of camera roles for a few projects in and around Adelaide.
Namely, stepping in for a few days on the TV series, "A Second Chance"
and the ABC doco, "Tiny Oz".
Then found myself filming for "Living Stories", which took me to Perth for a medical research production.
This was followed up by more projects with a variety of clients.
June 2021
SA Museum
I shot, edited & produced two videos to compliment their present exhibitions.
It was terrific to work in such an amazing environment with all the incredible artifacts on show.
I also filmed the Museum's 165th Birthday celebrations, recording the exciting thrills young and old have had in the museum, over the many years.
Agent Creative in Melbourne
They needed to do a live stream interview between Artists in Adelaide, S.A. and Melbourne, Victoria.
I was the D.P., cam op, sound recordist and gaffer.
We had Comedian Kehau Jackson in our Adelaide Studio,
(Magician - Raymond Crowe's
"Wonder Emporium"),
whilst Comedian, Ivan Aristeguieta was in Melbourne.
We utilised a Sony FX 9 camera, with my studio lights and audio equipment.
The final product will be part of the Victorian Seniors Festival -
"Artists in Conversation".
Raymond Crowe - Unusualist
While in the Wonder Emporium,
Ray and I shot his recent online promotion for hand cut silhouettes.
Always a joy to work with Ray, but best check your pockets before departing. 😀
April 2021
Filmed the "Naughty Hands" live fringe show for the feature film,
" The Silent World of Barry Priori",
produced by
Shining Catalina Productions;
Anne Tsoulis and Alison Wotherspoon.
We shot with cameras; Sony FS7, Sony A7s & GoPro Hero 6.
Barry Priori, "Adelaide's funniest deaf guy", is back by popular demand.
The whole show was done in Auslan hand language, with a vocal translater.
It was rather rude, but such a hoot.
The audience loved it !!
January - March 2021
Was the Director of Photography,
camera op and sound recordist on a wild life documentary for an American network. We had locations in Tasmania, Queensland and outback NSW.

It was a busy week with a short film shooting in "The Void", at Flinders University. This is their motion capture studio, where we created a virtual world and virtual characters, who interact with live performers. This involved the Media Studies, Drama and V R FX departments.Great fun and it opens up so many possibilities.
August 2020
I was recently thrilled to be asked to be Director of Photography on a US feature documentary, "The Rescue", about the Thai cave rescue of twelve young boys and their soccer coach.
We interviewed Dr. Richard Harris, the anaesthetist and cave diver,
who led the rescue plan.
We used two Sony Venice cameras, shooting 6K. With the help of incredible tech heads,
using a Q Take unit and video teleprompter set up, we had the Oscar winning Director, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, ("Free Solo"), directing from America, chatting with Richard.
And we also had producers in London and Singapore watching on, as we shot this live.
A most intimate, moving interview,
amoungst all the technology.
We were all in the presence of a true,
real time hero !
On a smaller scale,
Magician, Raymond Crowe called me in to film some of his new 'unusualist' projects. Ray was recently bestowed,
"The Performing Fellowship Award" from The Academy of Magical Arts -
The Magic Castle, Hollywood !
May 2020
Recently shot a little video for the
SA Bushfire Appeal charity.
Using a Blackmagic 6K camera, with the
DJI Ronin-S gimbal.
The camera and lights were very generously supplied by Pete Hall at
"Urban Cine", Adelaide, S.A.

March 2020
Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, all film productions planned this year have been shut down until further notice.
This means no job and no income for the forseeable future.
As a freelancer, these are tough times indeed.
However, the self isolation in the home office is giving me precious time to update my website, reels and cvs etc.
And sort out all my film gear and "stuff".
Bring on a virus free world asap !!
Stay safe everyone !
