Create:

Whilst I have a Masters Degree in Cinematography, I am also an experienced Producer, Director and Editor – a solo filmmaker (also known as a Shooter-Producer) – creating content in the film & television, arts, multi-media, tourism, government, not-for-profit and business and commercial sectors.

I create:

• Documentary content (e.g. for National Maritime Museum of Australia; Tourism Australia);

• Web series (e.g. Lune Media for Three Birds Renovations);

• Advertising and corporate content for businesses and organisations (e.g. XYZ Productions; NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group);

• Educational content for government and not-for-profit organisations (e.g. Australian Film Television Radio School, National institute of Dramatic Arts);

• Short and full-length drama productions (see Projects page);

• Television series (e.g. Cinematographer for Trapped 26 x 30 min Children's Drama);

• Photographic content (see Photography page)

• Drone content (see Photography Page)

Educate:

I advocate continuous education and growth, and passing on knowledge - No one is born an artist! I have been educating filmmakers and artists, as well as business people and community members, of all ages the creative process for the past 15 years.

I teach the complete gamut of what’s needed to be a current and progressive do-it-yourself filmmaker today, including:

• End-to-end production (content creation) - an important skill set to have in 2019 for presenting online content, especially in business. End-to-end production gives people the independence and confidence to create their own content for online distribution (e.g. internal communications, website, Facebook, Youtube, other social media);

• Mobile and iPad content creation (film and photography) – also an important skill to have these days where your mobile is the most accessible device around, especially in regional and remote areas. You’d be surprised what you can do with what’s in your pocket (just like MacGyver);

• Videomaking 101 – developed with the Australian Film Television Radio School, this successful 5-day workshop has been running for the past 5 years in Sydney for people with a creative interest, teaching them the basics of filmmaking. Don’t be fooled by the title - there is no “video” technology involved, it’s all digital;

• Photography – with cameras, mobiles or iPads and for children and/or adults;

• Pre-production and creative strategies – important for businesses in working out their creative action plan and strategies for branding. Businesses need to consider what’s the best type of content their business should be making and undertaking necessary pre-production prior to content creation;

• Video editing – editing your content and understanding the correct formats for the ever-changing deliverables in social media;

• Presenting to camera – for the presenter, expert or business person to improve confidence and technique in front of the camera and to understand the filming process going on around them.

• Create & Educate

A unique and bespoke experience, Create & Educate is tailored for your business. We collaborate and work as a team to improve your businesses content creation - I bring all of my skills and create content for your business while also educating your staff to create their own content for you in the future. This can be a one-on-one or group collaboration.

Create & Educate also works for government and non-government organisations, schools, communities or for businesses or people who just need to upskill.

• CREATIVE CONSULTATION

I advocate ongoing knowledge sharing with the next generation of creatives and often provide creative consultation to other filmmakers, marketing and communications personnel and students.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you are new to content creation, including online, and just need advice on where to begin!
