Really enjoyed filming with the SA Water crew at Goolwa. We managed to film around the intermittent downpours and even get some shots in sunshine. We'll be back on a sunnier day to film the rest of the SA Water barrages in the Coorong.

The fun challenge of filming on a grey day. Tip: avoid the sky and bring a lot of battery powered lights. At least the Kangaroo's were out at Myponga Reservoir.

🎥 Filming inside an EMC chamber with a drone today was a bit of fun. With the insulated walls, the GPS wasn't connecting and Mark had to go manual. We got the shot - plus many others - for our client. Overall it was a fun and successful shoot. Stay tuned for the edited piece.

🎥 Throwback Thursday with Vacswim SA

This was a fun but detailed shoot: a stop animation piece in our green screen studio for Vacswim SA.

Using models of the vacswim mascot: “Vaccy,” we had the character in several fun scenes. The VO artist for the character was brilliant, too, really bringing Vaccy to life with a cheeky but fun-filled voice.

💡 Lights for making food look delicious
🎥 Camera mounted for top down shots
😎 Styling to compliment the scrumptious food
👨‍🍳 Action Callum!

This shoot we did with Sprout Cooking School & Health Studio was a fun challenge - shooting several recipes in one day meant we needed to have one simple but effective set up. The large soft key lighting was flattering and the small backlight/rim light helped the subject stand out from the background.

🎥 On our latest shoot Bigwig Agency had some interesting requirements and we loved rising to the challenge!

To get the look needed we completely stripped a room to create a “clean” minimal interview look. We used mist over our lighting to ensure a soft, natural light on our subjects' faces. Finally, for the overlay, we used a slider, glidecam and a drone to ensure the footage had movement and there was a ‘flow’ to the video.

Bigwig were very happy with the results!
