Shot something different for a change. Always nice to get out of your comfort zone and try different filmmaking techniques.
Thanks @amvisuals.au for the opportunity and hopefully I will get to give sports videography another go soon.

Thanks to the Cobham Team š
Itās Jeromeās birthday today š so hereās your official permission to flood his DMs with gear recommendations he definitely doesnāt need but will 100% add to cart anyway. š¤£
Jerome isnāt just our Head of Production. Heās the guy who keeps every shoot from falling apart, the one making sure our lights, cameras, and cables actually do what theyāre supposed to. Heās the first to say āwe need better gearā and somehow also the first to say āwe donāt really need it⦠but imagine if we had it.ā
What we love about him? He sees storytelling as both logic and emotion. Heāll tweak audio levels for hours, but heāll also tell you that every good or bad moment is a learning experience. We pretend to roll our eyes, but heās right.
When heās not running the set, youāll catch him listening to podcasts, gaming, lifting at the gym, or daydreaming about his next car. Basically, Jerome does not do chill.
Happy birthday, Jerome! Thanks for bringing your eye, your energy, and your very specific opinions about gear into AM Visuals. We wouldnāt have it any other way. š„³
Drop a birthday shoutout for him below š

On Saturday, we did something extraordinary, something that had never been done before. We filmed a music video inside Cobham Justice Centre.
But guess what?
Thatās not even the most extraordinary part of the story.
We ran a content workshop where we gave three young people the chance to direct, shoot, and produce this video with our support. All they needed was the right guidance and a positive attitude.
This workshop wasnāt just about doing something cool (as cool as it was). It gave these three young people the opportunity to have a voice and take real ownership of their roles on the day.
A big thank you to the team at Cobhamāespecially Shannon and Gav, for supporting us and recognising the positive impact this workshop could have.
Hopefully, this is just the beginning of what ZOKU can achieve across Australia, and maybe even one day around the world. To showcase the creative sector as a top-tier career path, especially for troubled youth.
We also captured a behind-the-scenes video to highlight the day, which will be available to anyone interested in partnering with us to see what our workshops can deliver.
Weāre letting you in on a little behind-the-scenes moment šļø
Talking about the real stuff in our industry, the wins, the struggles, even the horror stories.
Because success isnāt an overnight highlight reel, itās the slow burn no one shows you.
This is just a taste of whatās coming š
š Follow along for more BTS and honest convos about what it really takes to make video work for your business.

āTripods are boring.ā Thatās literally how @jommayer kicked off Day 2 at @edenbraehomes ⦠until we reminded him that at 70, handheld might hit different when his arms give out š
From there, it was all the classic shoot-day chaos: freezing mornings, monitor cables staging a protest, bricklayers and carpenters on site, and Jerome casually having lamb shank for breakfast. Yes, breakfast.
Thatās a wrap for Day 2! long, messy, funny, and exactly why we love doing this.
š Want more behind-the-scenes from our shoots? Stick around, weāve got plenty more where this came from.

Sharing one of the projects that I worked on for @amvisuals.au
Lighting makes such a big difference to your image, so watch me break down the different lighting techniques I used on this 2 person conversation style interview.
In hindsight, I would have lowered the fill light to make the key light more prominent. Let me know what you think in the comments. Did you like that little slash of light I created in the background with a spotlight attachment? š

Sometimes the simpler shoots are the most satisfying.
A Sunday morning shoot for Cancer Council that turned out to be pleasant surprise full of incredible stories of community.
What a job.
Check out the event this is for:
.au/event/stars-of-penrith/home
Night full of dancing (some roller skates) and hopefully youāll see the @amvisuals.au there that night too āļø
Now for some colour photos!
Spent half of November outside NSW, and this is one of those projects. What an opportunity, but im still recovering till now.
@amvisuals.au does a livestream down in Melbourne.

A short film I worked on as a soundie š§š¤ @santaninafilm .
Different challenge shooting 4 days in a row till 3am-5am and juggling some full-time work here and there. But if you find some talented and fun people it's easy š.
Found myself a new gear that I can run on šŖ.
