Spent a casual Sunday cruising to Nyngan to capture the action at the footy. Bit of a different experience swinging off the camcorder for a few hours instead of my usual tools of the trade!

Geez it was hard to pick 10 of my faves from the 90 I edited from the dubbo show last night.

Congrats to the lads from who won their spot at the Thrashville gig in Sydney in June, well deserved.

It’s also great to see some of Dubbos up and coming, getting up there and giving it their all as well, they’ll be one to keep an eye on as they grow their sound.

Shoutout to the other bands who came and tore up as well:




And a big thanks to who brought me on to capture it all. 🙂

Absolutely stoked to be attending this gig at the end of the week and swinging off my DSLR again in a more official capacity. Looking forward to seeing old mates Hopeheldhostageband , the mad lads from Leeton Alpha Cult and reminding me how long I've been at this are the legends Extractor. Keen to see the new (and local!) kids Sun Lotus as well!

Dubbo... you better be there! :)

September 2023... a simple idea, a collaboration in a back shed (sounds ominous) and an awesome video came out of it. I can't claim anything other than the visual style and how tight the edit was (it was a lot of work!). But it's something I'm super proud of being a part of.
Video in the comments!

I've long been against AI in many forms, mostly in replacement of artists and creatives who provide real talent and experience in their craft. In my own work, I make every attempt to reduce my contact with AI, especially generative AI that is designed to replace said artists and creatives for a small monthly fee and a few text prompts.

I'm seeing so many local businesses lately using generative AI to replace traditional forms of advertising with graphic design and it's really quite saddening. What was once "supporting our locals" is now 18 bucks a month on ChatGPT and type a few prompts. And the really sad part is that you're paying to train another billionaires algorithm to continue stealing from the creative community anyway.
Using ChatGPT is not "victimless", it's destructive and an insult to those creatives.

Do I use AI in my work? Yes. I use AI tools built into my editing software, Davinci Resolve Studio. I use these tools to clean up audio noise, some picture noise and if I'm doing some more complex VFX stuff I rely a bit on compositing and rotoscoping tools that are AI supported. These tools do not replace someones job. These do not take away from another persons skills that they've built over years of practice to make a living from (and there aren't many folks crazy enough to want to work on cleaning up audio or video noise as a day job).

Rest assured I will refrain from including generative AI in any of my work, and will refuse any requests from clients asking me to do so. If this hurts my ability to work going forward, so be it. I respect creative folk far too much to simply replace them with AI slop. I encourage ALL local businesses to do the same.

Grabbing some timelapses and hyperlapses the other day around Dubbo for a Music video project, some good mid-30s weather to keep it interesting.

With the recent release of Ellis Undercover's new music video that we worked on, we thought we'd have a gander at other videos we've either produced, co-produced or helped out on over the years.

Can you believe that we've worked on over 15 music videos in the past 13 years? (some of those we've worked on are not available anymore and lost to time 😔)

That might seem like rookie numbers (believe me, I want to do more!) but there is often a lot of work that goes into these clips which keeps the numbers down. But we're looking to pump those numbers up in 2026... so if you're a muso with an upcoming release and an idea or six simmering away, give us a shout!

If you're keen to dig into some of the killer tracks we've helped put visuals to, check the comments below for the playlist link!
