Want to see our film Getting Dad?? You can here: If you enjoy it please vote for us!! Check out the other films too… we are under the category ‘Identity’ but lots of great subjects to check out.
We are thrilled to be heading to the Byron Bay International Film Festival to see our short film “Getting Dad” screen. Wonderful to be selected to screen at a festival I can actually go to! Only a little drive away… There really is nothing like seeing your film screen with an audience. So fun to hear people laugh when you meant it to be funny and ‘get’ what the film is about. An honor!! Here are a few stills from the film. Come along and see it!!!
Also so happy to see our work spreading around. If you’re a bride, check out POLKADOTBRIDE they just did a little feature on our work. The fantastic wedding of Madeleine and Michael. There are heaps of extra shots on the Polkadot site so take a look.
Hello and we hope you had a great time welcoming 2010!! I have an odd mix of things to share today. We are totally honored to be mentioned on the amazing blogs below!! Many thanks! www.debsphotographs.com/photoblog (i love love debs work!) and I recently discovered this great site too…. we recently had a wedding featured and our Christmas video made a little cameo too! Also we were featured in OUI magazine. A French fashion magazine. Sooo fun to receive a copy and see my work printed big!! teehee! HERE IS THE LINK: OUI magazine (do not google there is another not so nice magazine with same name!!!!)
Very excited to show you the first wedding video by our good friend and colleague Pancho Colladetti. We now offer wedding videos alongside our photography! Pancho is AMAZING!!! Check it out here: . Also I have had a few people asking about how to make giant heads like here and here . So here is what we did… 1. Take a few close up images against a plain backdrop.
2. Pick your favourite fun image and grab a giant brush colouring over the top and neck.
3. Rotate and crop as needed. 4. Process how you like it, re-size for print. We did 1m x 1m.
5. Take your files to a large format printer. We recommend getting vinyl prints with the sticky backing. However we un-wisely opted for the high quality print but no sticky back. So we cut out the faces and then glued them to backing board with spray glue. HOWEVER this is a 3 person job and fiddly and the glue did not hold as well as we hoped. SO if you can avoid it, DO!!! 6. Once our boards and pictures were joined and cut to face shape, we gaffa taped some sticks on the back! EASY! and fun! Let me know if any questions, happy to help! Very behind in blogging here!! Just wanted to send everyone over to Jinky Arts website to take a look at the lovely little film we collaborated on. Barb from JinkyArt is an excellent visionary, a producer/director and wrote a fantastic storyline. Of course she also shot all the beautiful stills throughout the film. I was delighted to co-direct with her and film/edit this piece. The talent is Amelie who just amazes me with her energy and ability to act!! She truely was amazing, thanks so much for all your hard work Amelie and Jo. The music is by Paperkites, check out their myspace . I have wanted to show you this for weeks but it’s been rather busy here! Finally the video that matches the photo! A super special thanks to Pancho and my sister Bene for helping us film this!! Also thanks to Nadia Sunde for the FANTASTIC music and you can hear more here!! From all of us we wish you a BIG fun Christmas! We just completed our very first music video. Its for a Brisbane band called ‘Fushia’ This video was filmed by me and our trusty partner in crime Pancho Coladetti. Hope you enjoy! here are a few stills too! We have got ourselves very organized and made a little shop for downloading our films… http://www.youcantbeserious.com.au/store/ This is going to be a way to help fund our next short film so feel free to spend up big! (ahahahah! so far only 2 films up there but many more to come and other fun things too!! Check back soon for more!) You can choose to download a little version of the film or buy the DVD and we will ship it out to you.  soo excited! From births… we now move on to bands. (OOH i love my job!) We had a super fun (and very hot!) weekend shooting a music video for Fushia, a local up and coming band. It was very hot and sweaty in Ryan’s (the lead singer guy) room. 20 people packed in like sardines dancing to the bands song ERASER. When I finish editing I will load the video, but for now, some photos to give you all a little taste of what it shall be like!
Here is Pancho, (cameraman and lighting tech and a bit of everything… general great guy), after one of the scenes was shot…. he couldn’t open his eyes because they were full of feather dust!
The lights were too bulky to set up in Ryan’s bedroom so here is Andrew (lighting/hunkaspunk/helper) and Pancho working out the lighting system in the little black box we created for the lights…. outside the bedroom window.
Here I am shooting crazy rabbit head…. (thanks to Pancho for this shot)
Next day we shot at this fantastic semi tip - semi mine location. Here are the boys shading themselves while we set up the bed in the field.
and now resting between shots….
now a little posing…
and lastly Pancho getting the last shot of the day….
A huge and SPECIAL thanks to all the fantastic extras who sweated a bunch… also Pancho and Andrew - couldn’t have done it without you guys. I am very proud to present our newest clay animation. You can see our old one here. My sister Bene came down to help us shoot and animate this so a BIG thanks to you Bene!! I thought I would include some funny little shots of the behind the scenes. This is Poppy’s sketches and storyboard for the project. Next Zali working on the characters. Different stages of production…. and here is the film…. please note 5yr old humor throughout!
Here is my latest engagement shoot. Jess and Dana are a complete hoot!! Wonderful clothing, humour and love between them. It is my first shoot mixing video and still photography. There were so many favourites I was finding it hard to choose. So if you watch the film you will get to view more of the photos!! I am shooting their wedding in just 2.5 weeks, it will no doubt be fun!
. These two are engaged and soon I will be shooting their wedding. Can’t wait! music is by this clever girl! Go buy some! |
