The Sounds of (A)us: DP Justin Brickle Wins Gold ACS Award

The film was written and researched by journalist Lawrie Zion and features interviews with experts, comedians and commentators including Bruce Beresford, Santo Cilauro, Max Gillies, Rachel Griffiths, Akmal Saleh, Bert Newton and Barry Crocker.

Justin was initially concerned about whether a movie about the way people sounded would translate to good vision, but the results speak for themselves – rave reviews & 1.2 million ABC viewers.
"It's a very nice-looking program, a swish bit of work” (news.com.au 7/11/07)

The Epic Ford "Drive" TVC

Just added is this panoramic new spot for Director Jon Gwyther, DP Matt Stewart ACS, and Editor Dan Mitchell. Says DP Matt Stewart:
"It was shot in december last year and included locations in New Zealand, China, South Africa and London. We took all our heads of dept  - Rick McMullen gaffer, John Balbi Grip , Camera guys Tov Belling and Lee Mariano, Matt Harris 1stAD, plus Production and Wardrobe. We travelled with an Arri 435, Arri 3 and 2 Bolex’s – one of which we bought in Shanghai. The whole job was shot on Kodak 5218 and a small amount of 7201 for the Bolex’s. The shoot was about 27 days and we literally flew, recced then shot for 2-4 days in each location. The job went very smoothly with the exception of a missing roll of film in China...after a very cold and jet lagged night shooting time lapse in Shanghai. Producer Alex Mooney did a great job pulling it all together with less than a week of pre production and offering up great locations for Jon and I to shoot."
