Making of…

Major events: Whether Papua New Guinea elections, a community celebration or a seemingly dull education conference, we know what wealth of screen material goes on "behind the scenes". We can make your event just as fascinating to the public as the inside story of a blockbuster movie. We help make your event memorable – and remembered.

Major works: From 35mm filming of a Shell-sponsored film about bridging the awesome Brenner Pass in Austria to a video helping get property developers' big projects off the ground – as with the arts and recreation complex, Highmark of the Mountains, we have shown the workings of major works.

Manufacture: International trade show videos – been there, done that – such as for Australia's top export award earner, NID – telling the full story that goes on behind the scenes, all the hard work that goes into achieving your end product; research, invention, design, development, testing, production and distribution.

Masterpieces: We have painted screen pictures of the visual arts on a broad canvas, including films such as Approach to Sculpture, Portrait of an Australian, Francis Bacon Paintings, JMW Turner, The Pre-Raphaelite Revolt, The Rough and the Smooth (a one-hour documentary on Australian impressionists Tom Roberts and Charles Conder) and 41 films in the Australian Eye series made for Film Australia in collaboration with major galleries.

Music filming ranges from jazz (Clouds of Joy at the Bendigo Gospel Festival) to major symphony orchestras at the Adelaide and Hong Kong Arts Festivals – and the first performances in the new Melbourne Recital Centre.

Indigenous Australian and modern European dance feature in the award-winning one-hour film, Road to the Stamping Ground.

Theatrical subjects include filming playwrights such as John Arden, as well as filming performances of Joan Littlewood's Oh what a lovely war at Stratford East. Drama and all the arts are included in Adelaide Festival of the Arts and Hong Kong Arts Festival – as well as the much-awarded Opus – some aspects of art and culture in Britain today.

Medicine: Fascinating treatment of research and practice, including Exploring Chemistry, a British Academy of Film and Television Arts and British Scientific and Industrial Film Association award-winning documentary on science teaching, and a one-hour TV documentary, Funnel Web; Search for the Antidote, demonstrate our contribution in these areas.

Milestones: Do you have a big one coming up? A new branch, a bronze, silver or gold anniversary of your organisation or business? Retirement of one of your key players? Don't let these events go uncelebrated.

We have the proven research skills to unearth all possibilities to ensure both internal and general public interest in your milestone. Our research makes use of unexpected material such as plans, sketches, souvenirs, charts and graphs, posters, sales displays and publicity material, as well as both sound and on-camera interviews – all seamlessly and creatively integrated into the end product.

We also offer this research phase as a separate service – and the fruits of our research are yours, as a permanent resource, for future milestones and your ongoing history.

Making of Movies enhance the wealth of material we gather by effective editing – and can include music scored, performed and recorded specifically for your story. You will then have a truly worthy, sympathetic record.

To suit your budget and your release needs, we shoot on any appropriate medium, from DVCam to full HD – or 16mm or 35mm film if you are thinking of theatrical release for your 'Making Of…'.
