Creativity is Key - Some of Our Favourite Projects

We’re stoked that we get to work in a field that we’re passionate about. Whilst a lot of what we shoot isn’t always the most interesting to show to the world, we’ve certainly been lucky to work on some truly unique and awesome projects over the years.

We’ve learned that it’s incredibly important to keep pushing our limits when it comes to our technical skills, and equally as important to regularly shoot our own self-directed projects to keep the creative juices flowing.

Here are a couple of projects that stand out to us as some of the most fun, creative, and weird films that we’ve put together. Enjoy!


Buy my BMW

When the time came for me to part with my trusty BMW, we decided to go all-out on the marketing.

Cue one of the best motor vehicle advertisements ever made (in my opinion, at least).


Double Airpoints with Double Daniel

In 2016 I was approached by the marketing team at Bayleys to create a short internal video explaining their latest promotion to their agents.

The promotions was for double airpoints, so we figured we would kick this off by having two presenters, which eventually became the name of the project – Double Airpoints with Double Daniel.

The whole shoot was hilarious, and through some cool editing and filming tricks, we were able to put Daniel into the frame twice for the wide shots. Check it out below!


#SadFace

#SadFace is a tale of love and loss; an exploration of what it means to be human.

This short film is the result of a collaboration by Brendan Dalton and myself. The two of us have had a history of making short films ever since we were children, and to be honest while the production value has increased significantly on my end, the overall quality of scriptwriting remains about the same.

Anyway, enjoy!


Thomas’ Star Wars Wish

Thomas’ Wish was an action-packed, Star Wars themed wish with the awesome people at the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Thomas and his friends were taught in the ways of the force by a true Jedi master!

“Oh my gosh, we saw it last night, it is amazing!!!!! What a great job guys, you are awesome!!!” – Circus in a Flash

“OH MY GOD. That is just so cool. You’ve made me cry at my desk!” – Jane Traynor, Make-A-Wish volunteer
