"Community stories are our favourite kind of stories. 🎥❤️

We recently had the privilege of creating these videos pro bono for the Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade – a team of everyday heroes who deserve all the recognition (and then some).

From late-night callouts to training drills, we got a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to keep our community safe. Huge respect to these volunteers – and a big thanks for letting us help share their mission.

A promo video for my wife’s business- Rui Ceramics
I’m pretty happy with how this came out. The colours and the lighting came together nicely in the edit. Some special help from our famous neighbours Todd and Kip, the dodgy undertakers of The Brokenwood Mysteries.

This is the latest instalment in a series of videos I've been creating for ADP Hydraulics NZ. After conducting thorough research on the topic, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Jean, the Fluid Power Engineer at ADP. Together, we brainstormed an innovative approach to marketing this particular aspect ADP Hydraulics. Once we formulated a solid plan, I returned to my office to meticulously craft a script that authentically captured Jean's voice, having gained a deep understanding of his perspective. To ensure comprehensive coverage, I also developed alternative versions of certain parts of the script. My intention was to make the script modular, allowing each section to function independently as a post on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn.
On the day of filming, I was fortunate enough to have Jean's valuable time, and I deeply appreciate his patience throughout the process. We took our time, conducting multiple takes until I was confident that we had captured exactly what I needed, even though I'm sure he grew tired of the repetition. His cooperation was invaluable, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. The resulting video has a unique atmosphere that sets it apart from anything else currently being produced in this market.
Our target audience consists of individuals who are some of the toughest guys out there, working in physically demanding environments and thriving on their challenging tasks. In line with this, the initial videos in the series featured fast-paced edits accompanied by energetic music. However, with this particular video, I decided to deviate slightly from that style, opting for a more serene approach that allows viewers to absorb the information we aim to convey.
For me, the script and direction were the key elements that contributed to the success of this video. Without dedicating ample time to this crucial stage of production, I would not have achieved the desired outcome.

Hydraulic Servicing at it's best.

Here is a snippet from the doco I made last year. It's always a challenge finding new and engaging ways to present images as B-Roll. You need to create a common feel for the photos as they are so disparate in their look and style, and from many different sources. With this treatment, I wanted to use the only visual media they had at that time, Photos and movies at the cinema. Some images I thought a small about of colour bought them to life, but I wanted to use this effect sparingly. Pace and timing is so flexible in FCPX as the containers for the sills can be stretched and shortened to fit the pace right on the timeline without having to go into Apple Motion to edit anything. The images are all from Legendary Warkworth photographer Tudor Collins from the Alexander Turnbull Library.

This is a video I've created for ADP Hydraulics, their website is about to go live. I set out to make something heavy metal but still a little light hearted and full of action. I think this is a pretty good video interpretation of the company and the kind of values it stands for. I'm very happy to be giving the oportunity to do work for this company. For the geeks this is all made in FCPX & Apple Motion, shot on the BMPCC 6K.
